This projection surpasses the previous estimate of 612.3 million tons and the previous record set in 2015-16 (623.1 million tons). Additionally, Datagro predicts a record-breaking 40.3 million tons of sugar output in the center-south region, representing a 19.5% increase from the previous cycle’s projection of 39.45 million.
