Due to productive losses, environmental pressure, and direct impact on the economy, the burning of sugarcane fields is no longer a punctual occurrence and has become a threat to the competitiveness of the Brazilian sugar-energy sector. Brazil produces over 600 million tons of sugarcane per harvest, concentrated mainly in the Center-South. In states like São Paulo, which leads national production, the dry period between April and September turns the fields into a high-risk environment. The numbers are worrying: And that does not include the damage to the sector's image — increasingly demanded for sustainability. Fire has become the enemy of productivity If before burning was part of the operation, today it represents pure loss. When the cane catches fire: 👉 Result: less industrial yield, more cost, and lower margin. Where do the fires come from? The reality is direct — and uncomfortable. Most of the burning today has no relation to agricultural management: In other words: the ...

Potato prices across wholesale markets in Brazil have recently experienced a significant upward trend, driven directly by a noticeable deceleration in the ongoing harvest. As the pace of collecting the tubers has slowed down in key agricultural regions, the immediate reduction in market supply has naturally forced prices higher. This dynamic highlights the high sensitivity of the Brazilian potato market to short-term fluctuations in daily harvest volumes. The slowdown in agricultural operations is frequently linked to climatic factors, such as unfavorable weather conditions, or the natural transitional phases between different regional crop cycles. When lower volumes reach the main distribution centers, the tightening supply chain immediately impacts buyers, from large-scale distributors to local retailers. Consequently, the reduced availability of fresh potatoes has created a highly competitive purchasing environment, pushing up the overall cost. Market analysts anticipate that ...

Brazil is expected to maintain its global leadership in the production of sugarcane and sugar in the 2026/27 crop year. According to estimates from the USDA agricultural attaché in Brasília, the total sugarcane production is projected at 675 million tons. The volume represents a growth of approximately 2% compared to the 2025/26 crop year, estimated at 660 million tons. The Central-South region remains the main producing hub in the country, with an expected harvest of around 620 million tons. The North-Northeast region is expected to account for approximately 55 million tons in the next season. This distribution reinforces the concentration of Brazilian production in the Central-South, responsible for the largest part of the national sugarcane supply. The improvement in climatic conditions throughout 2025 was decisive for the advancement of production. The main producing regions in the Central-South registered rainfall volumes within the norm, which contributed to the recovery of ...
