Sugarcane production saw an upward trend in the second half of May, with 46.19 million tons processed compared to 43.79 million in the previous harvest. The total cane crushing for the 2023-2024 season reached 125.38 million tons, a substantial increase over the previous cycle’s 107.38 million tons. This progress is due to weather changes, as the previous two harvest cycles were hampered by climatic conditions, with low agricultural productivity in the Center-South region. When compared to the 2020-2021 cycle, which saw sugarcane crushing surpassing 600 million tons, the increase is around 20.09 million tons.
