U.S : Ethanol Exports Shatter Records in 2025
The Renewable Fuels Association reported record U.S. ethanol exports of 2.18 billion gallons in 2025, valued at $4.8 billion, with total ethanol and distillers grains exports reaching $7.6 billion. Strong global demand reflects ethanol’s role in lowering fuel costs, cutting emissions, and supporting energy diversification.
The Renewable Fuels Association has released its annual report on the value of U.S. ethanol exports, documenting a record $7.6 billion in 2025, 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. One out of every eight gallons of ethanol produced in the United States is being exported, providing savings at the pump and cleaner air for drivers in dozens of countries across the globe.”
As detailed in the ethanol trade summary report, the record 2.18 billion gallons exported to more than 80 countries in 2025 represented a 13 percent increase over 2025. 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, tallying over 792 million gallons. The European Union, India, United Kingdom and Colombia were also sizable markets.
Exports of the ethanol co-product and livestock feed distillers grains were still strong, totaling 11.6 million metric tons in 2025, the fourth largest on record. These exports represent 36 percent of domestic distillers grains production. Export volumes were valued at $2.8 billion. Mexico remained the top export market out of more than 50 countries, with a 20 percent share, followed by South Korea, Vietnam and Indonesia.
