U.S. Net Ethanol Exports Hit 52-Month High; China is Top Market for Second Straight Month
“U.S. ethanol exports totaled 95.5 million gallons (mg) in April, a slight 300,000 gallons higher than March and the highest monthly volume since December 2011, according to government data released today. China was again the top destination receiving 34.5 mg of U.S. product in April. India (14.6 mg) nosed out Canada (14.5 mg) as the second-largest export market. Those top three customers accounted for three-fourths of all U.S. ethanol exports in April. Year-to-date ethanol exports reached 344.9 mg, meaning the industry is on pace to ship slightly more than 1 billion gallons in 2016.”
