Pakistan ethanol exports jumped to $425 million in revenues in 2018

January 21, 2019 |

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.
