U.S. ethanol exports totaled 107.2 million gallons in November, up 14% from October, with Brazil the leading destination for the first time in six months. China returned with a small volume of denatured ethanol after a long gap.
Exports for the first eleven months of 2017 reached 1.19 billion gallons, on pace for a record year.
