In South Korea, ethanol imports soared in September to 31,109 metric tons, up 36% from August. Of the 17,838 tons of denatured ethanol, 84% came from the US while the remainder came from South Africa and Pakistan. Most of the undenatured ethanol imports came from Australia, followed by Pakistan and Cambodia. Surprisingly, exports jumped nearly 130% to 5,233 tons, most of which was undenatured and went to Japan. No reason was given for the spike in imports nor exports.
