Brazil’s corn-ethanol industry plans to add seven plants in 2027 and 12 in 2028, bringing the total of mapped expansion projects to about 61. The article says current annual output is 12 billion liters and projects capacity of 25 billion liters per year by 2036; estimated 2026/27 production cost is R$2.21 per liter, below the stated cost of sugarcane ethanol.
Expanded ethanol capacity would increase industrial corn demand in Brazil, potentially tightening domestic availability and supporting corn prices as plants come online. The planned additions are spread over several years, so the near-term effect is limited.
