BIOINPUTS SLASH COSTS AND GAIN GROUND IN BRAZIL’S SUGARCANE SECTOR

The use of bioinputs in sugarcane is expanding in São Paulo, driven by growers’ association Canaoeste and its biofactory, CanaoesteBio. According to Roney Sakomura of the Santa Rita Group, full adoption of biological solutions has cut chemical use, boosted operational safety, and improved margins. Despite early challenges like cold storage needs, adaptation was swift. Producers cite environmental gains, fauna preservation, and more predictable pest control, reinforcing integrated management and regenerative agriculture. For Sakomura, associativism is key to enabling technology, competitiveness, and sustainable profitability.
