Green Plains still looking at acquisitions despite weak market and margins

In Nebraska, Green Plains is taking advantage of low investor interest in biofuels thanks to depressed crushing margins to seek out and acquire new assets as well as expand production capacity organically, despite its own weak performance and rising supplies. Even with weak oil prices, the company’s CEO says international demand for US ethanol has not slumped off and instead expects total exports this year to surpass last year, perhaps even reaching 1 billion gallons.
