Tridge summary

The article reports a significant increase in sugarcane crushing in Brazil's Center-South region, with a 327.32% increase in the first half of March compared to the same period last year. The accumulated crushing for the 2022/23 harvest reached 543.89 million tons, marking a 4.01% increase from the previous year. With 24 units in operation, there is expected to be a further increase of up to 5 million tons by the end of March, assuming normal climatic conditions. However, high rainfall has caused a delay in the sugarcane harvest schedule, potentially leading to an overlap with soybeans and corn harvest. The quality of raw material has also seen a slight decrease of 1.31% compared to the previous cycle.
