The volume of corn consumed by U.S. fuel ethanol producers reached an estimated 467 million bushels in June, according to the August edition of the USDA’s Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report.
The U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council, with support from USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service through the Market Access Program, delivered a technical assistance program to one of Colombia’s leading dairy and feed companies.
The U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council organized a trade mission for 10 poultry and swine nutritionists from Central America (CTA) and the Caribbean to visit key stakeholders in the grain utilization and logistics sectors in Minnesota.
The U.S. exported 206.06 million gallons of ethanol and 1.1 million metric tons of distillers grains in June, according to data released by the USDA on Aug. 4. Exports of both products were up from the previous month and June 2025.
Bio-acetone coproduction alongside ethanol stands out as a new opportunity for product diversification.
