SAO PAULO - In the week ended Oct. 21, in any state was advantageous to supply Brazil with ethanol, according to the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels).
The state of Sao Paulo has the cheaper ethanol from Brazil, with an average of R$ 1.887 per liter, based on prices in the last week. However, in the state, gasoline is still more advantageous, leaving, on average, R$ 2.643 per liter.
Piauí has the cheapest liter of gasoline, costing R$ 2.57.
For the use of ethanol to be profitable, it is necessary that a liter costs less than 70% of the price of a liter of gasoline. If the ratio exceeds this percentage, with gasoline supply becomes more financially appropriate.
