Data and Analysis
Brazil is the world’s third-largest corn producer, surpassed only by the United States and China. Its growing corn output has led to an increase of corn as a feedstock for ethanol production, which is more cost-effective than sugarcane ethanol.
Methanol poisoning in counterfeit distilled spirits, which led to 15 deaths and dozens of hospitalizations, significantly altered drinking habits across Brazil, with many consumers avoiding consumption of distilled spirits following guidance from the Minister of Health.
South Korea’s whiskey imports experienced a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1% in value from 2020 to 2024, totaling $249 million.
