Argentina’s bioethanol exports reached 130,000 cubic meters in 2025, up 55% year over year and the highest level since ethanol was blended into gasoline in 2006. Domestic sales totaled 1.181 million cubic meters, while installed capacity is estimated at 1.45 million cubic meters annually, leaving about 25% of capacity idle amid stagnant domestic demand.
Growing ethanol exports and production link Argentine corn and sugarcane demand more closely to the biofuel market. The reported idle capacity suggests room to increase output, but feedstock demand depends on whether export and domestic markets absorb that capacity.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
