Corn has been gaining increasing prominence in the Brazilian agricultural agenda – and it’s no coincidence.

Today, Brazil is the world's third-largest corn producer and second-largest exporter of the grain. More than volume, we have demonstrated speed: national production is growing at a faster pace than that of other leading countries.

One driver of this expansion is relatively recent: corn ethanol. In 2013, Brazil produced virtually no biofuel from corn. Today, approximately 15% of all corn production in the country is used to produce ethanol—a figure that is expected to rise.

Projections indicate that, by 2032, 40% of all Brazilian biofuel production will come from corn. This shift signals a significant shift in demand and the grain's strategic role in the national energy matrix.

The integration of agriculture and energy is one of the pillars of a low-carbon economy. And Brazilian corn is at the center of this transition.

In today's pill, understand why corn ethanol will be an important driver of grain demand in the coming years.
