USDA data released November 4 showed U.S. ethanol exports reached 208.99 million gallons in September 2026, up 36% from a year earlier and valued at $491.22 million. Canada was the largest destination at 93.52 million gallons, and distillers grains exports reached 1.09 million metric tons.
Strong ethanol and distillers grains export pull supports plant utilization and co-product demand, which can firm feedstock demand for corn and the DDGS market.
