1 Joel Velasco Chief Representative – North America BRAZILIAN SUGARCANE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION UNIÃO DA INDÚSTRIA DE CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR Outlook for Brazilian Ethanol in U.S. Sugarcane Ethanol as a Low Carbon, Advanced Renewable Fuel

2 OUTLINE ① Sugarcane in Brazil A Primer on the Industry ① Outlook for U.S. Market Federal Policy (RFS) State Initiatives (LCFS) ② Sugar Market Brazil responding to demand

3 3 Sugarcane in Brazil A Primer ①

4 ABOUT UNICA UNICA is the leading sugarcane industry association, representing +100 producers and mills in Brazil Responsible for 60% of all ethanol and sugar production in Brazil Emerging as a leader in the generation of bioelectricity already meeting 3% (and soon 10%) of Brazil’s electricity demand International presence, now in Washington & Brussels, to engage in constructive dialogue

5 WHERE SUGARCANE IS GROWN IN BRAZIL Sources: NIPE-Unicamp, IBGE and CTC South-Central region represents about 90% of sugarcane harvest

Even with ILUC, 10% sugarcane ethanol blends meet LCFS to 2017

20 World Sugar Markets Why are sugar prices at 28 year high? ③

21 SUGAR MARKET DYNAMICS With low sugar prices (until earlier this year), sugar (as opposed to ethanol) production was not increasing in Brazil for last two crop years… … but world sugar market is in structural deficit, exacerbated by India’s switch to net importer among other reasons. So, Brazil is boosting sugar production (+12% in south-central region) yet key sugar markets are not accessible.
