Plants Should Prioritize Sugar Production This Year

This year, sugarcane plants will prioritize sugar production over ethanol. The main producers in Brazil, located in the Southeast region, which accounts for 70% of national production, have the following factor for prioritizing production: the price of the sweetener in the domestic market and the recovery of values in the foreign market.

Unlike the plants that produce corn ethanol, sugarcane plants can determine whether they will produce more sugar or ethanol. Therefore, a broader mix term for either product.
