Brazil’s Centre-South region will likely have its second highest agricultural yield in the sugarcane fields for the past nine years, Wilmar said in a post on X.
The Singapore-based company, which is one of the largest players in the global sugar market, said it projects the 2024/25 Brazil’s CS sugarcane crop at a range between 620-630 million tonnes.
It estimates sugar production at 42.5-44.5 million tonnes, with a crop target of 43.8 million tonnes, which would nearly equal the record production seen in the previous crop.
Wilmar’s projections continue to be on the top end of estimates by analysts and traders.
France’s Sucden, another major sugar trader, expects for example a much smaller production in Brazil CS at around 40 million tonnes due to below average rains all along the crop’s development stage.
