# Corn ethanol to have seven new plants in 2027, and greater supply could pressure prices

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
