SUGARCANE HARVEST EXPECTED TO BE 10% HIGHER THAN 2023

Favorable weather conditions have led to optimistic estimates for this year’s sugarcane harvest, which is expected to be 10% higher than in 2023, totaling over 2 million tons in Rio de Janeiro. Usina Canabrava has already begun crushing, while Coagro is slated to begin in June. According to the head of the Fluminense Association of Sugarcane Growers, the increased crop will result in additional jobs. Despite the recent heavy rains, a healthy harvest is forecast, with a good impact both on the sugar and alcohol industry and on local farmers.
