Brazil wouldn't have wanted to pay to upgrade their refineries to make ultra-low sulfur diesel nor pay to import it from other countries.
The so-called Premium refineries meant to be built in Ceará and Maranhão were never finished, basically due to widespread corruption at Petrobras under some former governments.
