# Corn oil, DDG support margins at ethanol plants

> Pecege estimates Brazilian corn ethanol production costs at R$2.75 per liter, while plant prices in several states, including Mato Grosso at R$2.62, are below that level. Sales of DDG and corn oil add about R$0.93 per liter of ethanol to plant revenue, making these coproducts central to margins.
