Sugarcane plantations in the Central-South region may face production issues in the 2027/28 crop. Part of these problems is expected to occur due to failures, aging, little investment in treatments, and the impacts of the El Niño predicted for the second half of this year, warns Márcia Mutton, a professor at FCAV/UNESP.

At the beginning of the harvest, in April, the mills used 67% of the cane to produce ethanol and only 33% to make sugar, a situation that experts call "maximum ethanol" in the production mix of the mills. The mills have some flexibility to produce more ethanol or sugar, depending on market prices. However, a larger than expected crop means that the mills need to crush as much cane as possible and fully use the parts of the ...
