Ethanol import tariff is now on the table, but move by Brazilian sugar industry could backfire | 07-09-2008
Analysis of: Brazil launches campaign to remove ethanol tariff | www.ethanolproducer.com
Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC

Changes in the ethanol production subsidy and import tariff would be an excellent way to moderate the increases in the short-term price of corn, easing the pain for the US livestock industry.  But any change in these policies will have long term impacts on the biofuels sector.   These changes...

Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC
