The sugarcane harvest in Brazil’s Center-South region, anchored by the São Paulo cane belt, is running intensely with many mills operating 24 hours a day to handle the high volume, confirming a massive crop that has direct implications for global sugar and domestic ethanol prices. Favorable rainfall distribution and strong field management are allowing some mills to forecast production up to 5% higher than initial estimates for the current cycle, placing total national cane output on track for one of the largest on record, projected at over 709 million tonnes by some official forecasts. This sheer volume signals a significant increase in available biomass for processing by firms like Raízen (RAIZ4) and São Martinho (SMTO3) and translates directly into a structural supply upside risk for both commodities.
