The two main candidates challenging Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in the October elections have criticized her government’s policies regarding the sugar-derived fuel ethanol.
Aecio Neves of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party and Eduardo Campos of the Brazilian Socialist Party trail Ms. Rosseff in opinion polls, though some recent surveys have shown them gaining ground.
Mr. Neves promised to give ethanol greater importance in the country’s energy sector and to use government policy to promote innovation in the industry. Ms. Rousseff’s energy policy has made many mistakes that are hurting the ethanol industry, according to Mr. Neves.
