Sugar and ethanol plants in the state Paraíba are expected to crush 6.5 million tons of sugarcane and produce 420 million liters of ethanol (anhydrous and hydrous) in the 2022/23 harvest, according to the Union of the Alcohol Manufacturing Industry in Paraíba (Sindalcool-PB). “Over the years, the harvest in Paraíba has already suprassed the current estimated volume of 6.5 million tons of sugarcane, making us believe that the current forecast could come true”, said Edmundo Barbosa, the executive president of Sindalcool-PB. The estimates also consider changes in the total recoverable sugar content (ATR), which indicates the quality of the cane.
