Marketing And Distribution

Marketing and Distribution
We market ethanol in different geographic locations around the U.S. and have built an in-house, fee based marketing business that provides ethanol marketing services to other producers in the ethanol industry. Green Plains Trade, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is now responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of all ethanol produced at our eight production facilities. Green Plains Trade also provides ethanol marketing services to three third-party ethanol producers with expected operating capacity of 260 million gallons per year. This ethanol is marketed in local, regional and national markets under short-term sales agreements with integrated energy companies, jobbers, retailers, traders and resellers. Under these agreements, ethanol is priced under fixed and indexed pricing arrangements. Our plan is to selectively expand our third-party ethanol marketing operations.
