Brazilian presidential candidates support ethanol in different ways

In Brazil, a debate on agribusiness was hosted for the top three presidential candidates where the incumbent blamed the 2008 financial crisis for a lack of support for farmers. She said sugarcane producers must become more competitive in the face of increasingly cheap corn ethanol from the US, while opponent Aécio Neves said the industry needs stability and minimum prices for ethanol. The other opponent Eduardo Campos wasn’t asked about ethanol.
