Updated to Q1 2020
Ethanol supply will decline in the first quarter as the 2019-2020 harvest season for sugar cane comes to an end. The 2019-2020 sugarcane season has set records this year relative to the previous year, but stocks may not be enough to cover domestic needs.
Demand for hydrous ethanol is likely to decline in the first quarter because rising ethanol prices will make consumers modify behaviour and flock to gasoline. Other variables, such as oil prices in the international market, the exchange rate, and the political-economic situation in Brazil may also affect demand.
We offer the following regional Ethanol analysis and news coverage to keep you informed of factors and developments affecting prices in the Latin America Ethanol marketplace.
