Brazil's sugar production grows against the trend, while ethanol production declines hint at energy shifts. (1) An institutional survey indicates that sugarcane crushing in central and southern Brazil is expected to decline by 1.5% year-on-year to 33.42 million tons in the first half of October, a decrease of 520,000 tons compared to the same period last year. (2) Sugar production, despite the downward trend, increased by 0.6% to 2.469 million tons, with the proportion of sugarcane used for sugar production significantly increasing to 49.72%, a 2.39 percentage point increase compared to the same period last year. (3) Ethanol production declined by 3.1% to 1.973 million tons, with the sugar content per ton of sugarcane falling by 2.8% year-on-year to 155.80 kg, reflecting changes in crop quality. (4) The decline in crushing volume contrasts sharply with the increase in the proportion of sugar production, indicating that producers are actively adjusting their output structure to respond to global market fluctuations. (5) The data reveals the flexible adjustment capabilities of the agricultural product processing chain, which has achieved increased production of core products through resource optimization despite a contraction in the overall raw material supply.
