The productivity of the current sugarcane crop begins to show signs of recovery, after two cycles of adverse weather conditions. Brazil’s 1.6% increase in crop yields contrasts with the 2.6% reduction in the planting area. Sugarcane output is likely to reach 572.9 million tons, a slight drop of 1% when compared to the previous cycle, Conab said on Friday (19), citing the adverse weather conditions during the growing season. According to the document, farmers expect to harvest 70,484 kg per hectare. In the 2021/22 cycle, productivity was estimated at 69,355 kilograms per hectare.
