Crushing in the Center-South of Brazil will be a record this fortnight, Platts estimates
British commodities consultancy S & P Global Platts announced this week its production estimates for the second half of April to the Center-South of Brazil. The figures anticipate the final data from this period released by Unica fortnightly.
After listening to the market, the British consultancy warned of a possible crushing record in the main sugarcane region of the country. Check out the numbers::
- Crushing: 36.27 million tons
- ATR: 117.44 kg / t
- Sugar: 1.726 million tons
- Total Ethanol: 1.447 million m³
- Hydrate: 990,000 m³
- Anhydrous: 456.9 thousand cubic meters
- Sugar: 42.38%
- Ethanol: 57.62%
Record
The projection of 36.27 million tonnes for the second half of April exceeds the previous record in the period when 32.14 mi tonnes were processed in 2013/14.
For Platts, dry weather favored harvesting and sugarcane crushing.
Sugar:
The commodity production in the Center-South is projected at 1.726 million tons, a record number for sustained commercial advantage over ethanol in recent weeks, says the consultancy.
Ethanol:
With production estimated at 999,000 cubic meters, hydrous ethanol should lead biofuel production in this half, which has a total production estimated at 1.466 million cubic meters.
