US ethanol production rose 2% in 2025 to a record, and exports reached 2.18 billion gallons, up 13% from 2024. Canada, the Netherlands, India, the UK and Colombia were the top five buyers, and rail movements were up 10% from the five-year average.
Record ethanol output and exports mean strong corn grind and DDGS supply, which is supportive for corn demand and co-product pricing.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
