# Ethanol Industry Sees Modest Profit Uptick Amid Shifting Production Trends | American Ag Network

> Ethanol industry margins improved modestly in May, with a Kansas State estimate of about $0.03 per gallon profit. Lower corn costs of about $4.49 and firmer ethanol, DDG and corn oil prices drove the turn. Ethanol output had pulled back in recent weeks even as summer fuel demand was expected to rise.

## Why it matters
