PERU: October 11, 2004


A farm worker cuts sugar cane to be used in the production of refined sugar and ethanol, an environmentally friendly motor fuel, in the Cartavio sugar estate in the northern city La Libertad, September 23, 2004.


Peru hopes to move into ethanol production as soon as possible but needs to the government to first apply a new law that obliges motorists to use the fuel.
