The success of Brazil in the large-scale production and use of fuel
ethanol has been widely discussed and analyzed by other countries
interested in adopting policies designed to encourage the use of
biofuels. Within this context, certain questions arise: Could the
Brazilian experience be replicated in other countries? What were
the conditions that enabled the creation of the Brazilian
Proálcool (National Ethanol Program and what lessons can be
learned? To examine these issues, it is important to understand the
functioning of the key, interconnected markets (those for
sugarcane, sugar and ethanol), which, from their inception, were
the objects of extensive government intervention until 1999. Two
main conditions enabled the creation of Proálcool: robust
production of sugarcane and sugar (tightly regulated by the
government, which applied the numerous regulations then in place);
and the military regime that was in place at the time, whose
decision-making and enforcement powers were quite broad,
facilitating the carrying out of the necessary actions, as well as
making it easier to coordinate the activities of the various
stakeholders and sectors involved. This book increases
understanding of the functioning of the sugarcane supply chain in
Brazil, not only during the phase of government intervention but
also in recent years (in the free-market environment). The lessons,
positive and negative, gleaned from the Brazilian experience can
contribute to reflection on and the development of alternative
modalities of biofuel production in other countries, making the
book of interest to scholars and policy-makers concerned with
biofuel and renewable resources as well as economic development.
