# Brazil could produce 46 billion liters of ethanol in 2027, but oversupply threatens prices

> Brazilian ethanol production could reach 46.3 billion liters in the 2027/28 season, up 10% year over year, while domestic consumption is forecast to grow 6% to 41.2 billion liters. Expansion of corn ethanol plants and expectations for a large sugarcane crop are driving supply growth, which could exceed domestic demand and pressure prices and producer margins.

## Why it matters

If production grows faster than domestic use and exports or other outlets do not absorb the difference, ethanol inventories could build and prices weaken. Expanding corn-ethanol capacity also supports demand for corn as a feedstock.
