SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, Brazilian President: ++Simultaneous English Translation by Interpreter++ " What is going on now with oil? Some try to follow the easy road and put the blame on the developing countries. Others said that China is consuming too much. Nobody is discussing about speculation that is going on, especially in the futures stock exchange." 13. Mid of Yudhoyono listening 14. SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, Brazilian President: ++Simultaneous English Translation++ "Giving more incentives to the poor countries to increase their food production. If we manage to diminish the US subsidies, or if we open market access in Europe to agricultural products. But the only thing that is unacceptable is to ask the poor people in the world 'don't eat more'. Ask us to produce more." 15. Mid of Silva and Yudhoyono shaking hands. STORYLINE: Biofuel production is not to blame for soaring global food costs, Brazil's president said on Saturday, calling for incentives for developing countries to grow food crops as a way out of the crisis. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was speaking in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, after meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Both Brazil and Indonesia are major growers of crops that are used for biofuel production. Fuels made from sugar cane, corn and other crops have been seen as a way to combat climate change and rising oil prices. Last year, the European Union endorsed a plan calling for biofuels to make up 10 percent of the fuel for road vehicles by 2020. But environmentalists, international groups and some countries are becoming increasingly wary of so-called "green fuels," which they say could accelerate global warming by encouraging deforestation for plantations - at the same time further increasing commodity prices by taking land used for food production. Experts say prices of corn, wheat, rice, soybeans and other food products have soared over the last year due to a complex mixture of factors, including high oil prices, changing diets, expanding populations, growth in biofuel production and speculation. Silva singled out speculation as the major cause of the current crisis and said China was also being unfairly blamed. He called for incentives for poor countries to increasing food production as a way to bring down prices. "If we manage to diminish US subsidies, or if we open market access in Europe to agriculture products. But the only thing that is unacceptable is to ask the poor people in the world 'don't eat more'. Ask us to produce more," he said. He gave no more details. Indonesia is hoping to make biofuel production, mostly from palm oil, a centrepiece of its economic development. Foreign and local companies have invested millions of dollars in new plantations and processing plants. Yudhoyono said the government would send a team of experts to Brazil to learn more about biofuel production.
