FTC Issues Annual Report on Ethanol Market Concentration 2020
Agency: Federal Trade Commission
Date: 3 March 2021 |
The Federal Trade Commission has issued its
2020 Report on Ethanol Market Concentration. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 directs the Commission to perform an annual review of market concentration in the ethanol production industry “to determine whether there is sufficient competition among industry participants to avoid price-setting and other anticompetitive behavior.”
As in prior years, the 2020 report concludes that “[t]he low level of concentration and large number of market participants in the U.S. ethanol production industry continue to suggest that the exercise of market power to set prices, or coordinate on price or output levels, is unlikely on a nationwide basis.” The Commission vote to approve the report was 4-0.
The Federal Trade Commission works to
promote competition, and protect and educate consumers. You can learn more about
how competition benefits consumers or
file an antitrust complaint. For the latest news and resources,
