Brazil is expected to bring seven new corn-ethanol plants online in 2027, followed by 12 more in 2028, according to Veeries. The new plants could add more than 2 billion liters of ethanol supply, while increased sugarcane processing may also weigh on biofuel prices in the 2027/28 season.
More corn-ethanol capacity would raise demand for corn as a processing input, supporting corn use and potentially prices. At the same time, greater ethanol supply could pressure biofuel prices and processing margins.
After 318 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
