Mills in the Center-South processed 45.97 million tons of sugarcane in the first half of September, up 6.94% year-over-year. However, the cumulative volume for the 2025-26 harvest is 450 million tons, down 3.68% from the last cycle. Sugar production remained consistent at 3.62 million tons for the period and 30.39 million tons overall. Ethanol, however, saw output of 2.33 billion liters, led by growth in anhydrous ethanol (+4.35%) and a sharp 15.97% increase in corn-based production. Ethanol sales hit 1.56 billion liters, supported by a 235.7% surge in exports. UNICA stated the data reaffirms a solid operational pace and market balance, with the sector also advancing in decarbonization credits, already meeting about 97% of RenovaBio’s yearly goal.
