“A year of prosperity”, said Abel Uchoa, general director of SJC Bioenergia, which is about to close the 2022/23 harvest, having crushed 6.5 million tons of sugarcane so far. About 2.0 million tons of sugarcane are still forecast and the final projection is for 8.5 million tons equivalent. “We have already prepared for the 2023/24 season, and we expect to reach 10.5 million tons of sugarcane equivalent”, said Uchoa. The unit should start operating at a new corn ethanol plant in December. “Corn is very attractive, we are expanding our plant, in the São Francisco unit, which should start producing now in December. We will increase production from the current 390 thousand tons of corn to 650 thousand tons”, said him.
