Copersucar’s US ethanol arm sees market share grow with sales of 9.2 billion liters

In Brazil, larger ethanol trading volumes from Copersucar’s US-based trading arm Eco-Energy Biofuels helped the parent company achieve higher earnings despite less sugar crushed by more than 20 mills associated with the cooperative during 2016/17. Eco-Energy Biofuels’ ethanol sales rose 4.5% during the period to trade 9.2 billion liters, with an estimated 16% market share in the US. The company is currently discussing with US companies in order to secure more trade flows as it market share grows.
