Industry Research Report
148
This report provides an overview of the ethanol fuel industry and documents involvement
of farmer cooperatives in it. The market demand for ethanol is analyzed. Other
factors influencing ethanol fuels development are also discussed, including the impact
on profitability should Federal and/or State processing/production subsidies be
reduced.
This report suggests that potential investors examine the prospects carefully prior to
involving themselves in the fuel ethanol industry at any time in the near future. The virtual
existence of the fuel ethanol industry depends upon Government subsidies and
commensurate political support. Neither of these conditions has gone unchallenged.
