In 2009, vehicle sales registered a growth of 11% in comparison to 2008, and the historical record of 3 million vehicles was reached. Flex-fuel sales represented 88.2% in 2009.

Since 2003, until June/2010, more than 11 million flex-fuel vehicles were commercialized and its share in total light vehicles fleet is estimated in 37%.

Flex-fuel sales:

From zero to 80% in 3 years!

The Agro-ecological sugarcane zoning in Brazil and, from this example, what can

be done in other countries


Ministry of Mines

and Energy Brazilian Agro-ecological zoning:Rules to Guide the Sugarcane Expansion

To indicate the potential areas for sugarcane expansion production withoutenvironmental restrictions and that are already used or degraded;

To exclude the production of sugarcane in the biomes of Amazon, Pantanal andUpper Paraguay River Basin;

To indicate preferably degraded or pasture areas, minimizing any competitionwith food production;

To indicate potential areas with agricultural potential without full irrigation,considering climate, soil conditions and varieties to select areas where sugarcaneproduction uses the least quantity of water possible;

To indicate areas with slope up to 12% in order to allow the use of machines at the tilling. This will avoid new induced fire areas for sugarcane manual cut and orient the expansion with mechanical harvesting.

The Brazilian sugarcane agro-ecological zoning was coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, together with the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Ministry of

Finance, with technical assistance of EMBRAPA (Public Enterprise of Agriculture Research)

The Brazilian Government

published in September, 17th 2009

the Decree Nº 6.961/2009 that:

“Approves the sugarcane agri-

ecological zoning and determines the

National Monetary Council¹ to

establish the rules of financing/credit

operations for the sugarcane sector in

the terms of the agri-ecological

zoning.”

¹ National Monetary Council is the Brazilian higher instance

responsible for making the rules of credit and monetary policies.

The council is presided by the Ministry of Finance

and Energy

The Agri-ecological zoning methodology as key-instrument for technical cooperation. Brazilian cooperation in other countries.
