Aftermarket forecast: China's ethanol market is expected to stabilize prices in the short term. In terms of edible ethanol: factories are mainly stabilizing prices, while downstream operators at on-site terminals are mainly in need of purchasing, and they still need to pay attention to subsequent downstream procurement plans. In terms of coal-to-ethanol: Due to production reduction due to commissioning of Anhui Tanxin plant, the spot supply of coal-to-coal is still tight. In terms of anhydrous ethanol: The Hongzhan Laha factory has resumed water-free production, and the downstream is replenished on demand, so that the goods can be shipped smoothly from the factories with goods. In terms of fuel ethanol: Most of the local refining sources are supplied from Northeast China. Freight charges in Northeast China continue to rise, and terminal prices follow suit.

Raw materials: Corn market prices are relatively strong, grassroots circulation is tight, and high temperature weather is approaching. Under the influence of the supply side, bullish sentiment in the market is strong. DDGS prices are operating weakly and steadily, the overall operating rate is declining, supply is tightening, but the demand in the terminal downstream market is not good. The price of dried cassava has been stable recently, and the cost of cassava alcohol has been relatively stable.

Supply: Hongzhan Laha and Jixian are producing at full capacity, Zhaodong COFCO's edible equipment is shut down, and fuel line production is produced. Jinyimeng was shut down without water, Chifeng Ruiyang started at half load, and others remained stable. Anhui Tanxin has temporarily suspended production on the 15th of this month due to plant commissioning and production reduction and the restart of Fukang Line 2/3 has been delayed until the end of the month.

Demand: In the off-season of liquor procurement, chemical stocks are expected to be replenished this week.

Logistics: Logistics in Northeast China is still tight and freight rates continue to rise.
