Recent rainfall in late March and early April has positively impacted Brazil's main sugar-producing region, potentially leading to the second highest agricultural yield in the past nine years for the Centre-South region. Wilmar, a key Asian commodities trader, forecasts the 2024/25 Brazil CS sugarcane crop to range between 620-630 million tonnes, with sugar production estimated at 42.5-44.5 million tonnes. This projection is notably higher than other market predictions, such as France's Sucden, which anticipates a smaller production of around 40 million tonnes due to less than average rainfall during the crop's key development stages.
