Biofuels are included in USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative.
Chris Bliley with Growth Energy tells Brownfield yesterday’s announcement indicates more than $6 billion from the consolidated appropriations act and other COVID relief funding will target a broad number of pieces from the ag economy.
“We don’t yet know the details, but we’re certainly pleased that USDA plans to provide this long-awaited assistance to biofuel producers.”
He says the biofuels industry continues to struggle as fuel demand lags compared to pre-COVID levels.
