Updated to Q4 2019
Fuel ethanol and industrial ethanol production is expected to remain limited by corn harvests. The USDA lowered its corn production forecast following heavy rains earlier in the year that led to a delay in planting. The closures of several ethanol plants in recent months also will be a headwind to production.
Fuel ethanol demand is expected to fall in the fourth quarter as winter weather limits driving and gasoline usage. However, a possible government agreement to boost biofuel usage regulations may lead to increased demand late in the quarter as stocks are built for the following driving season.
We offer the following regional Ethanol analysis and news coverage to keep you informed of factors and developments affecting prices in the US Ethanol marketplace.
