Ethanol Prices: The Future of the Ethanol Farm
In the push to find alternative fuels, ethanol has received its fair share of attention, spurring a boom in ethanol production facilities and a boost in ethanol prices and profitability. However, the profitability of ethanol is anything but stable. Some experts predict that the forces that have driven the boom of production might actually undermine ethanol as an investment over the next several years.
Ethanol prices rely heavily on two commodities: corn and gas. As ethanol production and other forces increase the price of corn, ethanol prices are expected to drop due to the increased supply, which will in turn decrease profits by approximately 25%. So, the ethanol industry growing faster than experts predicted will likely create a decrease in profitability
