Ethanol production dropped due to heavy rains plus increased demand for sugar exported to India, according to Joel Velasco, UNICA's chief representative for North America. The Brazil sugar cane industry isn't concerned by the reduction and will simply produce less anhydrous ethanol, which is mixed with gasoline, and more hydrous ethanol, which has 4 percent water and is used unblended in Brazilian vehicles, Velasco said.
