Sugarcane ethanol boosts Brazilian industries, exports grow

This audio slideshow highlights the economic impact across many business sectors in Brazil by its sugarcane ethanol industry, the stark differences between biofuel from cane versus corn (the primary source in U.S.), and the future growth prospects of Brazilian ethanol to meet demand by its own population, and export demand by European and Asian countries (Brazil was at the time of this series, and still is, the world leader in ethanol export).

Reporting and narration by Bob Moser (while with The Daily Advertiser newspaper of Lafayette, La.), and photos by Marcelo Min of Agencia Fotogarrafa in São Paulo.

cane grow everywhere in brazil,and grow fast,so nobody needs to worry about using cane to produce energy, brazil goes green,corn is food,cane may be but the whatever is left from used cane to produce ethanol can be used to feed cows.
