Although tax burdens from the European Union, over 50 million gallons of ethanol have been imported into Europe by US manufacturers, further reports the statistics.
Unsurprisingly, US companies are the largest producers and exporters also for pelleted feed.
The trend is US companies to become more aggressive on foreign markets, given the pace of domestic consumption of ethanol is slower compared with the construction of new facilities, also states the report.
