# Corn ethanol boosts domestic consumption in Brazil, but high stocks may limit price gains in early 2027

> Conab projects a 6.6% increase in Brazil's domestic corn consumption for the 2026/27 crop, driven by the expansion of corn ethanol plants. Experts say that plants are already partly supplied, stocks are high and farmers are delaying sales, so early 2027 purchasing may be slower.
