In 2021, UBE recognized total sale revenue of THB6,966.7 million, an increase of THB2,532.3 million or 57.1% from the previous year, mainly from an increase in sale revenue of starch products both native and organic starch, due to an increase in customer  demand following the ease of COVID-19 situation in destination countries i.e. China, European countries, and the United States. In addition, the increase in ethanol sale revenue came from both industrial-grade ethanol (driven by COVID-19 outbreak) and fuel-grade ethanol, which increased in selling price and sale volume following the ease of lockdown.
