Germany’s biodiesel exports soar in 2013 thanks to EU anti-dumping duties

In Germany, 2013 biodiesel exports hit a record of just over 430 million gallons, up 20% on the year. Imports also fell during 2013 to 168.1 million gallons from 228.1 million gallons in 2012. The Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen (UFOP) says part of the increased exports and reduced imports is due to less Indonesian biodiesel imports following the EU’s imposition of anti-dumping trade duties last year.
