US meets with Brazil on ethanol
The president of the Iowa Corn Promotion Board says a recent trade mission to Brazil showed growth opportunities for US ethanol.
Kelly Nieuwenhuis tells Brownfield he’s optimistic Brazil can become a key export market now that tariffs have been dropped against US ethanol. “They have that national E27 and a half blend that they want to maintain,” he said. “So, we feel pretty good that we will be able to import some ethanol to Brazil.”
He says the US and Brazil are two of the world’s largest ethanol producers. “You know, it wasn’t so much about talking about competition between the two countries, but trying to figure out a way to work together to promote biofuels on the world stage.”
Nieuwenhuis recently returned from an ethanol trade mission with the U.S. Grains Council.
