# NBB, ASA Ask President Trump to Support Biodiesel Producers, Soy Farmers - Fuels Market News

> The National Biodiesel Board and the American Soybean Association wrote to President Trump asking for support for biodiesel under the RFS, relief from lost demand due to exemptions, and extension of tax incentives. The letter says the EPA's proposal offers too little room for biodiesel growth. It also says exemptions cut biodiesel demand by at least 300 million gallons.
