>>Is US ethanol really pricier than Brazilian at today's USD value ?<<

Not sure, so many variables to consider...

- US now has incredibly cheap NG to produce fertilizer and process corn.

- Brazilian demand for motor fuel is growing, while US demand is declining.

- Brazilian sugar demand is strong on world markets.

- US politicians will now attack the 2022 ethanol mandate. Might take a few years, but I expect they'll whittle away at it. California HATES ethanol because it increases air pollution. If Brazilian ethanol starts taking market share in the USA, why would US politicians continue to support the mandate? Seriously?

- etc.
