Australian biofuels group says producers to fold on cheaper imports.

摘要

Australia's three ethanol producers likely will be forced to close down "within mondis" of the government's reduction of an excise on foreign ethanol imports from July 1, said Heather Brodie, head of the Biofuels Assoc, of Australia (BAA). The tariff on imported ethanol will be lowered from 38￠/L to 25￠/L, making imports more attractive to marketers than domestic ethanol.
