Brazilian sorghum acreage could double by 2035 as ethanol plants seek alternative grain feedstocks, exports to China grow, and seed and farm-management technology improves. The crop’s greater tolerance of low water availability and its price, reported at 10%–15% below corn, are supporting interest in sorghum as a complement to second-crop corn.
Growing ethanol and export demand could support sorghum prices, while acreage expansion may eventually add supply and increase competition with corn. The reported discount to corn makes sorghum an increasingly competitive feedstock for ethanol plants.
