Brazil Ethanol Properties In Demand, Hard To Find
By Mr Ethanol | June 4, 2007
Ethablog:
One of the first things that struck me about the new situation in Brazil (new as in “relative to when I left eight months ago”) is the appetite with which properties are being tossed around. I have been shown the description of refineries valued at US$ 200 million or more, capable of processing 1.5 to 2.5 million tons of cane/year (roughly equivalent to an output of about 1.3 million barrels of oil equivalent every year). But seeing a description and actually finding a good property for sale are very different things.
Professionals with distinguished careers in public service have quit their jobs to set up a fund or otherwise attract foreign investments and channel them to this or that project, hawking whatever particular investment strategy flavor is believed to be the most marketable. A hefty check from the Interamerican Development Bank (BID) and other cheap-money multilateral institutions is considered a plus.
