сбыт или выпуск продукции

[alyonushka23]

Пожскажите плиз, что значит слово outlet в данном контексте. Я не могу понять, то ли это сбыт, то ли выпуск продукции.
However, biodiesel industry sources are complaining about a lack of outlets for glycerine, especially for refined pharmaceutical-grade material.

Заранее спасибо

Речь идет о проблеме сбыта (недостатке потребителей, отсутствии спроса) глицерина - побочного продукта производства
...Revenues for a biodiesel plant are mostly provided by fuel and glycerin (a co-product) sales, which are produced in a ratio of 1:10. The contribution of the main by-product (glycerin) in its raw form is relatively small but nonetheless important for the plant’s profitability. However, the market for glycerin has not been able to absorb large quantities without sharp price discounts...
