GROWTH ENERGY WELCOMES PRESIDENTIAL CALL FOR ACTION ON BRAZILIAN TRADE BARRIERS
Feb. 14, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C.--Growth Energy, the nation's largest biofuel trade association, welcomed news from President Donald Trump that he would direct his Administration to consider potential reciprocation on Brazilian ethanol, in response to trade barriers that effectively ban American ethanol from Brazil's market.
"While American biofuel producers have been almost entirely blocked off from the Brazilian market, Brazilian producers have enjoyed unfettered access to the U.S. In some cases, certain policies in the U.S. even incentivize the use of imported Brazilian ethanol instead of ethanol produced here in the U.S.," said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. "This runs contrary to putting America first, and is exactly why President Trump is taking steps to address this issue. Thank you, President Trump for taking action and pushing for a level playing field for American ethanol producers."
