UNICA says 72.5% of cane went to ethanol production during H1 March

April 14, 2020 |

In Brazil, Reuters reports that UNICA data shows sugar mills allocated 72.5% of cane juice towards ethanol production rather than sugar during the second half of March, down from the 79.5% allotment during the same period last year but still a high percentage compared to the last several years. Hydrous ethanol sales during the period fell nearly 21% during the period in response to lower gasoline prices at the pump together with fewer drives on the road as the country stays home to help slow down the spread of COVID-19.
