We were worried that Brazil would flood the USA with ethanol once it got going in the USA. Everyone thought sugar cane was such a better efficiency of making fuel.....
Funny how it turns out - this year Brazil is using about 20% of our entire USA supply of corn ethanol, importing it to their country. Sugar is more valuable as sugar from their limited cane supply, so they import our corn ethanol for fuel.
In Florida the biggest cane setup there has sold out to the USA govt - the govt bought their land for wildlife habitat, and so is 'subsidising' the sugar industry in the SE USA to move itself into South America - look it up on the internet, folks never pay attention, but we are using govt subsides to not grow cane, to export jobs and production to other countries over the next few years.... Florida is all excited about it because of all the high dollar construction jobs created to return the cane fields to 'natural' wildlife areas - not seeing the big picture that those are short term jobs, with long-term industry leaving their state. Kinda sad.
More sugar will be produced in my state I guess - sugar beets and corn, as time moves forward. Sugar cane is being abandoned in the USA. Hawaii is abandonig it also in favor of hotels and development.
