Brazil plans to commission seven new corn ethanol plants in 2027 and 12 more in 2028, potentially adding more than 2 billion liters of annual capacity. Corn ethanol output rose 6% in 2026/27, and the expected expansion alongside a potentially large sugarcane crush could push ethanol prices toward production costs in 2027/28.
More ethanol capacity increases demand for corn as a feedstock, but the resulting fuel supply growth could pressure ethanol prices and plant margins. Stronger corn use for fuel may support domestic corn demand.
