U.S. ethanol exports for industrial use hit records in 2017/18 and are on pace for another record in 2018/19. Exports to India rose 37% to $243 million for the first eight months of the marketing year, and South Korea exports are tracking 24% higher.
Growing export demand for U.S. ethanol supports ethanol prices and plant margins, which indirectly supports corn demand, though the impact is limited.
