(NAFB.com) – New statistical reports from the Renewable Fuels Association show the value of the U.S. ethanol industry’s exports rose to a record $7.6 billion in 2025. The rise was fueled by a record 2.18 billion gallons of ethanol exports and 11.6 million metric tons of distillers’ grains shipments. “Growth in the export market provided crucial support for U.S. ethanol producers this past year,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “Our trading partners around the world are increasingly embracing American-made ethanol because it helps lower their fuel costs, reduces emissions, and decreases their reliance on petroleum.” The value of U.S. ethanol exports soared to $4.8 billion, also a record high. Shipments to Canada set an annual record for a single destination, totaling over 792 million gallons. The U.S. remained a net exporter for the 16th consecutive year, as imports accounted for less than 0.1 percent of domestic consumption.
