Historically, ethanol production in Brazil used nearly exclusively sugar cane as feedstock. In crop year 2018/19, for example, more than 32 billion liters were produced in the country using this crop. Nonetheless, corn (which is the main feedstock used in the U.S.) has been slowly gaining space in the Brazilian market. In the 2021/22 crop year, fuel ethanol production from corn was forecast to reach 3.5 billion liters, more than four times the volume reported three years earlier. Brazil is the second largest fuel ethanol producer worldwide, ranking only behind the U.S.
