The FCStone Renewable Fuels Group is a major force in the ethanol industry. Due to our large presence in the grain market(s) and feedstuff's end-user, we have a vast knowledge of the feedstuff's markets including co-product derived from ethanol plants. Our group utilizes cash, futures and over-the-counter (OTC) products to help minimize risk and maximize margins for our ethanol customers.
One of the commodities that has an impact on the overall profitability is the co-product produced within these plants. This commodity, no matter what form, is at day-to-day price risk exposure. That price risk can be mitigated. In addition, there are other commodities that may have a positive or negative impact on co-product values in various geographical regions. Not only is price risk a concern, but logistically selling co-product is an issue. Marketing and selling co-product is a key component of what FCStone can offer the ethanol plant. Contact us today.
