Unica reports that in the second part of December 2025, corn ethanol made up 77.2% of Brazil’s total ethanol production, solidifying its position as a key country biofuels matrix. Investments in new plants, industrial expansions, and increased operational efficiency drove production to reach 6.86 billion liters in the 2025-26 harvest, an increase of approximately 14% compared to the previous cycle. Unlike sugarcane, which has a seasonal harvest, this crop may be harvested continuously, which increases energy security by ensuring a consistent supply. Jobs are created and regional economies are stimulated by the advancement of the sector.
