Export numbers from the Wisconsin Department of Trade, Agriculture and Consumer Protection show an 18 percent increase in ethanol exports from Wisconsin, totaling an export value of over $250 million and driving Wisconsin&rsquo;s export totals to an all-time high.
&ldquo;Despite Big Oil&rsquo;s relentless attacks on Wisconsin&rsquo;s farmers and producers the ethanol industry continues to help drive our economy,&rdquo; said Joshua Morby executive director of the Wisconsin Bio Industry Alliance. &ldquo;Biofuels are a key part of Wisconsin&rsquo;s international trade growth. In 2014 the increase in ethanol exports alone was valued at $31 million dollars. That&rsquo;s real money going to real Wisconsin families.&rdquo;
Wisconsin ethanol producers also exported more than 500 million pounds of dried distillers grains (DDGs), valued at more than $51 million. DDGs are a high protein co-product of the ethanol process used for animal feed.
Exports to Canada, the top buyer of Wisconsin agricultural products, jumped 14 percent to $1.7 billion with help of an 18 percent increase in ethanol shipments, the DATCP data showed.
