# Ethanol/Cepea: Restricted supply supports ethanol price increases

> Prices for anhydrous and hydrous ethanol continued to rise in São Paulo as reduced supply and unsettled weather delayed the 2026/27 sugarcane crushing season. Many mills stayed out of the spot market, while distributors bought limited volumes after earlier purchases; hydrous ethanol trading was at its lowest level so far this season.

## Why it matters

Weather-related delays in cane crushing are limiting near-term ethanol availability, supporting prices. Lower spot-market volumes reflect both restricted mill offers and distributors’ prior coverage.
