Sugar output in Center South, Brazil’s main producing region, may miss the estimated 34.6 million metric tons this year, according to the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association, known as Unica.
Output may fall short of the forecast released March 31 as sucrose content in the cane is lower than expected and a large percentage of raw material has been used to make ethanol, Technical Director Antonio de Padua Rodrigues said.
