Whenever I try to point it out in Brazil, there is always someone who insists on disagreeing as if I said corn should be the only feedstock for ethanol, instead of another option to decrease the dependence on sugarcane. For a country such as Brazil, which is one of the largest exporters of animal protein (much of the poultry eaten in the Middle East comes from Brazil, with the Paraná state for instance as the largest exporter of Halal chicken), corn-based ethanol is a good option, even though it shouldn't be the only one.
