U.S. ethanol exports rose 4% in December 2024 to 194.4 million gallons, with record shipments to the EU and Mexico. Full-year 2024 exports reached a record 1.91 billion gallons.
U.S. DDGS exports rebounded 12% in December to 1.06 million metric tons, and Colombia, Vietnam, Turkey and South Korea showed strong buying.
Strong DDGS export demand supports the feed co-product's value relative to corn and soybean meal, helping offset ethanol plant costs. Record ethanol export flows also underpin corn demand from the biofuel sector.
