Ethanol Exports Reached 2.67 Billion Liters by the End of 2020 – The Highest Rate in the Industry in Seven Years

In February 2020, ethanol sales by producers in the Central-Southern region totaled 2.40 billion liters, with 2.28 billion liters destined for the domestic market and 120.79 million liters for industry export.

The Highest Export Volume in the Industry in Seven Years

This exported volume represents a 41.40% growth compared to the end of 2019 (85.42 million liters), with 99.49 million liters sold in the last fortnight of the month.

From April 2019 to February 2020, this increase reaches almost 20%: 1.77 billion liters compared to 1.48 billion liters recorded in the same period of the previous harvest.

“This is the largest export in the last 5 years”, highlights the technical director of UNICA, Antonio de Padua Rodrigues. Indeed, in the 2015/2016 harvest, the Central-Southern region exported 1.83 billion liters between April and February, higher than the 1.77 billion liters. The United States remains the main destination. “It is worth mentioning, however, the balance involving ethanol trade between Brazil and the United States, with imported volume equating to exports”, comments Rodrigues.

In the domestic industry, the volume of anhydrous ethanol sold reached 737.60 million liters, with 344.08 million liters accounted for in the last half of the month in exports. Regarding hydrated ethanol, sales reached 1.54 billion liters (740.85 million liters in the second half of February).

Milling and Production

The milling of sugarcane in the Central-Southern region totaled 579.90 million tons since the beginning of the 2019/2020 harvest until March 1, 2020, up 2.74% compared to the same period of the 2018/2019 cycle (564.45 million tons). By that date, sugar production reached 26.49 million tons, while ethanol production was 32.55 billion liters (22.68 billion liters of hydrated ethanol and 9.87 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol).

The volume of renewable energy produced by the Central-Southern units by the end of February 2020 already exceeds the historic production record of 30.95 billion liters by 1.60 billion liters.

“This figure is expected to grow, as we still have the production from March, officially included in the 2019/2020 harvest”, says the executive. Of the total produced so far in the 2019/2020 cycle, ethanol made from corn accounted for 4.35% of the recorded volume, reaching 1.41 billion liters by the end of February — more than double the amount observed in the same period of the previous season (692.29 million liters).
