In Pakistan, the Dawn newspaper reports that ethanol exports soared last year to 653,443 metric tons compared to 572,056 tons in 2017. The average price for the ethanol exported was $650 per ton, brining receipts for 2018 to around $425 million. Currently there are 18 distilleries producing anhydrous ethanol, ENA and industrial ethanol. In the past, the sugar industry would dispose of molasses as a useless waste product but now is able to produce 2 metric tons of ethanol from 10 tons of molasses, fetching high prices on the global market.

Unprocessed soy oil exports, however, rose 68% on the year. Soymeal exports fell 12% on the year despite the fact that production rose 5%. Dried, unprocessed soy bean exports rose to $56 million this year versus just $6 million last year. The value of raw soybean imports during the summer period also tripled in value on the year.

In Brazil, Reuters reports that the country exported the most ethanol in August since October 2013 at 314 million liters, up from 241 million liters in August 2018, thanks to sugar mills continuing to focus on ethanol production rather than sugar as has been the case for the past two years. August’s figure is also higher than the July exports of 206.7 million liters. Brazil just agreed to extend its import of US-origin ethanol following senior officials meeting with President Trump last week but most of those imports occur during the inter-harvest period between January and March.
