| (Washington, D.C., September 16, 2026) – Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the American Biofuels Trade Outlook, a plan that builds upon 2025’s record U.S. ethanol export performance, removes restrictions to American biofuels, and secures new market opportunities for U.S. farmers. “2025 marks the strongest year for ethanol exports in the history of the U.S., supporting our great American farmers. This record setting 2.2 billion gallons of U.S. ethanol shipped across the world this past year representing $4.7 billion is not by accident, it reflects the hard work of America’s farmers and the powerful leadership of President Trump,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins. “This milestone demonstrates how American innovation and rural investment can deliver prosperity for consumers and producers at home and around the globe. American farmers are fueling the future, and the American Biofuel Trade Outlook outlines the USDA’s exact plan to ensure that success continues, and America’s producers continue to prosper.” “America’s farmers are competing and winning on the world stage and our homegrown biofuels are no exception,” said Under Secretary Luke Lindberg. “President Trump and the USDA are focused on increasing ethanol blending around the world and making sure U.S. farmers win with every new trade deal. This milestone proves our strategy has been working and the release of the American Biofuels Trade Outlook will make sure our success continues.” To learn more, please view the 2025 U.S. Ethanol Exports report.
