Sugar production in Mid-south Falls 18%
The continuous rain of last weeks continues to
delay the crushing of sugar cane harvest
2012/13 in the South-Central region, which
represents 90% of national production of sugar
and ethanol. In the second half of May, the sugar
production reached 1,959 million tons, 18.69%
less than in the same period last year, according
to Industry Union Cane (UNICA).
In the accumulated result of the harvest to June
1st, the production of this commodity reached
3,529 million tons, 26.23% lower than achieved in
the same period last season 2011/12.
The crushing of sugar cane in the second half of
May was 35.6 million tons, 17.62% of decrease. In
the accumulated result of the harvest,
the processing reached 70.7 million tons, 29.61%
lower than 100.4 million tons that had been
processed until the very moment of the season
2011/12.
The numbers in the first half of June might
indicate results even lower, because the amount
of rainfall was more intense. According to Unica’s
interim chief, Antonio de Padua Rodrigues, the
greatest impact of the rain will be observed on the
results of the first half of June.
