US Grains Council says ethanol exports up 15% on year

In Washington, the US Grains Council says that even months into the 2017/2018 marketing year, the United States has exported nearly one billion gallons of ethanol, up 15 percent year-over-year and an indication of ethanol exports’ support for U.S. grain demand.

March ethanol exports exceeded 215 million gallons, the second highest monthly sales on record behind nearly 220 million gallons in February 2018. Both months far exceed the previous monthly export record of 178 million gallons in December 2011.
