UNICA Council approves Evandro Gussi as new president

In Brazil, the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) approved the appointment of Evandro Gussi as its new Director-President.

“We want to continue to contribute with Brazil, and our goal is to guarantee institutional bases that will bring clear and predictable rules to the national and international market. This is essential to provide security for investors and thereby develop the country and industry,” said Gussi as its main mission at the helm.

The new Director-President emphasizes that in this first year of management, the RenovaBio will remain a priority. “In the last two years, UNICA’s main agenda was the RenovaBio. The entity contributed technically to the creation and regulation of the program, which is expected to come into effect from 2020. We are sure that once implemented, it will bring the predictability that the industry needs to resume its investments in productive capacity and innovation, relieving the competitiveness of ethanol in the domestic market.” Gussi was the author of the National Biofuels Policy Bill (RenovaBio), built with the participation of the biofuels production sector.
