Jefferson Rodrigues, a bioenergy technology manager at Lindner Techno Systems, discussed how ethanol and other biofuels let farmers add value to grain beyond selling it raw. He argued that fuel production is not competing with food supply.
The interview was given after a panel at the 4th Brazilian Cereal Congress.
Growing on-farm or local biofuel processing can create domestic demand for corn and other grains, supporting prices and reducing reliance on export parity. Feed buyers should watch whether such capacity expands, since it shifts corn and by-product (DDGS, WDGS) availability.
After 439 past neutral policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
