RFA study shows economic impacts of ethanol industry
In Washington, the ethanol industry strongly contributed to the U.S. economy last year, as record-setting production and exports supported hundreds of thousands of jobs and generated tens of billions of dollars in gross domestic product and household income, according to an analysis released by the Renewable Fuels Association.
In 2025, the industry directly supported 79,000 U.S. jobs, along with an additional 237,000 indirect and induced jobs across all sectors of the economy. The industry created $28 billion in household income, contributed $50 billion to the nation’s gross domestic product, and generated nearly $10 billion in tax revenues at the federal, state and local levels. The report also calculates that the industry spent $24 billion on 5.5 billion bushels of corn and grain sorghum alone, as the industry continued to support America’s farming communities.
