In 2023, Paraná, Brazil saw a slight decrease in sugar exports at 2.59 million tons, but due to improved international prices, revenue increased to US$1.26 billion. This was largely due to a drop in Indian sugar production, leading to increased purchases from Paraná, with Algeria and Malaysia being the main importers. The state also experienced a rise in ethanol production and a record corn export of 4.73 million tons. Additionally, the soybean harvest advanced due to favorable weather conditions.
