WHO WE ARE

Global leaders are searching for clean, renewable options to provide energy and reduce petroleum use. Sugarcane has emerged as an important alternative for meeting those needs. This powerful plant is grown in more than 100 countries and holds the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), diversify energy supplies and create jobs.

The Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) developed this website to serve as a global information hub on sugarcane products and their contribution towards economic, environmental and social benefits for countries around the world.

This website is part of a larger partnership between UNICA and Apex-Brasil seeking to promote the benefits of Brazilian sugarcane ethanol in North America, Europe and Asia.
