Press Release Summary = Brazil\'s ethanol production is likely to go for a downturn
as a result of reduced domestic supply of sugar for this crop season.

Press Release Body = Brazil, the world\'s biggest ethanol producer, may struggle to
make enough of the fuel in the crop season ending March to meet domestic use because
higher prices elsewhere are encouraging exports, C. Czarnikow Sugar Ltd. said.

Brazil, also the largest producer of sugar used to make ethanol, is expected to
export a record 3 billion liters this crop year, from 2.4 Billion liters a year
earlier. Exports to the U.S. will rise to 1.2 Billion liters, 130 Million liters
more than last season, buoyed by tougher environmental legislation.

As a consequence there is a real risk that Brazilian ethanol production this season
could fall short of demand. That may mean more of Brazil\'s sugar crop will be
diverted into ethanol production, reducing global supplies of the sweetener,
Czarnikow said. Refined sugar prices rose to a record in London in May, partly on
speculation Brazil would use more of its crop to make the alternative fuel.

RNCOS report “Biofuel Market Worldwide (2006)” discusses the prospects
of bio-fuel energy sources.

Analysts find that there’s high possibility that Brazil may not be able to
meet the rising ethanol demands for crop season ending in March.

The problem isn\'t an issue of production capacity. It\'s because global demand is on
the rise and higher prices outside the country are encouraging exports.
