With a 3.2% rise over the prior cycle, Sao Paulo is expected to produce 308.1 million tons of sugarcane for Brazil’s largest harvest in 2022–2023 (298.5 million). In comparison to August 2022, projections climbed by 8.7%. For the time, the rainfall reached typical amounts. According to FAESP President Fábio de Salles Meirelles, this is great news for producers in Sao Paulo and Brazil because Sao Paulo is the country’s main producer. From the 21.4 million tons of sugar produced in the previous harvest to 22.2 million tons this season, the industry expects a 3.8% increase.
