The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set record biofuel blending targets of 5.4 billion gallons for 2026 and 5.7 billion for 2027. These mandates require processors to boost production over 60% following a year of idled plants and falling Soybeans exports to China. Failure to meet these quotas could deplete credit reserves and raise diesel prices during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
