U.S., Brazil looking to expand ethanol-use in Latin America, Caribbean

Most ethanol produced in Brazil is made from sugar cane and is much cheaper to make than the corn-based variety nurtured by protective tariffs and government subsidies in the U.S. Politicians from corn-producing areas are already crying foul, fearing the plan would undercut American producers by flooding the market with cheap foreignย imports.

A news report, however, says by increasing ethanol production and consumption, particularly in countries that produce sugar, the Bush administration hopes to reduce the regionโ€™s overall dependence on foreign oil and take some of the pressure off oilย prices.
