The U.S. ethanol sector recovered in the third quarter to about 85-90% of pre-COVID demand, with weekly production averaging 14.2 billion gallons annualized, 89% of the first quarter's level. Operating margins for a representative Iowa plant averaged $0.21 per gallon, up from break-even in the first quarter.
Recent policy steps include E15 sales moves, EPA plans to deny refinery blending exemptions, and Brazil's duty-free access for U.S. ethanol for 90 days.
Stronger ethanol output supports corn grind demand and DDGS supply, which tends to firm feed-grain prices. Policy support for blending keeps the outlook steadier into the fourth quarter.
