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 Proalcool
(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 Proalcool: 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.
