Chinese ethanol imports plummet 74% in September

In China, ethanol imports plummeted in September to just 10,121 cu m, down 74% from August that in turn had been 54% higher than July following several months of dwindling imports. All but 19 cu m came from the US, which was denatured ethanol. Total imports for the year through September are at 692,815 cu m. On the other hand, China exported about 4,000 cu m of undenatured ethanol in September while it imported just 24 cu m. DDGS imports also fell more than 46% to 272.24 million kg, all of US origin.
