Brazil exports third DDGS shipment of corn-based ethanol to Vietnam

Corn-based ethanol production increases in Brazil and so does its DDGS supply, so the first cargo of 55,000 metric tons has set sail for Vietnam. Corn ethanol production is expected to rise 31% season over last season at 4.5 billion liters, accounting for about 15% of the country’s overall total production that is dominated by sugarcane. The first two DDGS shipments from Brazil which took place earlier this year went to the UK and Turkey.
