Brazils center-south is expected to produce 26.38 million tonnes in the 2018/19 season which is heading into its final weeks the lowest amount in 12 years due to a smaller cane crop and higher ethanol production, Datagro consultancy said on Tuesday.
Datagros previous estimate for the season was for production of 27.28 million tonnes. It projected the new sugar season, which starts in April next year, at a similar level with an output seen at 26.4 million tonnes.
