Way better deal to import Brazilean or Latin American ethanol than ever more expensive Venezuelan,Nigerian or Arabic oil! - DANIEL D MARTIN Sun, 04 Nov 2007 19:17:40 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8611/54/#pc_11018 I really would like to see some kind of explanation. The only substantial outlet for domestic over-supply that I know of is exports to the U.S. despite the tariff. - conceicao Sat, 01 Sep 2007 15:17:15 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8611/54/#pc_11013 Conversation at all. From what I read the percentage of alcohol in regular gasoline was raised to 25% from 23% last month precisely because there was an oversupply of alcohol at the point of prodution which had caused the wholesale price to fall by 30%. How does that fit with this article? - Ric Sat, 01 Sep 2007 02:55:42 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8611/54/#pc_11004 The statistics - 20-plus % increase in alcohol output - suggest to me that ethanol exports to the U.S. are ramping despite the tariff. It is possible that Brasilian production has such a cost advantage and transport is so much more convenient from Brasilian production facilities than from the U.S. Midwest to the Gulf refineries that Brasil is taking market share in the U.S. despite the tariff. If so, the tariff / tax credit / federal mandate regime that the emprendedores politicos Norte Americano (sic) have erected to feed off of would be revealed as little more in substance than a tax manipulation designed to line the pockets of the favorably situated. If Brasilian producers are taking share despite the tariff, that has to be the end for the tariff. - conceicao Fri, 31 Aug 2007 15:40:09 +0100
