U.S. ethanol exports rise 26% in 2016 to second-highest level on record - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

U.S. fuel ethanol exports rose 26% in 2016 to over 1 billion gallons, the second-highest level on record, with Brazil overtaking Canada as the top destination at 267 million gallons. U.S. ethanol production hit a record 15 billion gallons, and imports fell 60%.

WHY IT MATTERS

Strong export demand supports record ethanol output and corn grind, and it also lifts DDGS supply that competes with soybean meal in feed rations.
