Ethical Sugar Social Report 2009 - Brazil
Le sucre à travers le monde →

By Jean-Baptiste DeVevey

As of today, Brazil offers the least expensive ethanol on the global market, and its ecological aspect is
also quite promising. Therefore Brazil appears to be the most logical ethanol exporter for the future.
The large majority of this ethanol is produced in the State of São Paulo (SP). The cane industry in SP
employs around 270,000 people directly and produces 64% of the entire Brazilian output, which
represents 18M tons of sugar, and 10.9B liters of ethanol. Within the 22M hectares of land that this
state owns, 19% is forest, 35% cultures and 46% pastures.
