The 2022/23 sugarcane crop in the State of Pernambuco is likely to produce between 13.8 and 14.2 million tons. According to an estimate made by the president of the Pernambuco Sugar and Alcohol Industry Union (Sindçu-PE), Renato Cunha, production is expected to increase by 6% or 9% in relation to the previous cycle, when 12.667 million were harvested. SindSugar-PE forecasts an output of 980 thousand tons of sugar, and 430 million liters of alcohol. Sugar exports of the current crushing will be around 49%. Also this year, the ethanol produced in the Northeast region plants will not compete with imported alcohol, as happened in previous years.
