# Sorghum gains selling options, consultant says

> A Brazilian consultant says sorghum now has more marketing outlets, including ethanol plants and export buyers. Sorghum is reportedly trading 10% to 15% below corn, and exports to China are estimated at about 2 million tonnes in 2025/26, up from roughly 100,000 tonnes the previous cycle. The consultant also notes that the cultivated area of about 2.2 million hectares could double by 2035.

## Why it matters
