Supply and demand
Bioethanol production was about 120 million liters before the COVID-19 pandemic and in 2020 it decreased until 2023, recovering almost to post-pandemic levels. Consumption decreased in 2020 to increase a bit in 2021, but in 2023 the levels were similar to 2020. Hence, imports are needed.
