Brazil’s National Supply Company, or Conab, on Tuesday (April 28) released its first sugar cane survey for the 2026/27 crop year, estimating production at 709.1 million tonnes, up 5.3% from the 2025/26 season. If confirmed, it would be the second-largest crop in the state agency’s historical series, behind only 2023/24.
According to Conab, the outlook for higher production is supported by improved yields and expectations of a larger harvested area in the upcoming season.
Weather conditions observed in 2025 are expected to have a positive effect on this crop and contribute to a 3.4% increase in average national yield, to 77.753 tonnes per hectare.
The harvested area is also expected to grow 1.9%, Conab said, reaching 9.1 million hectares. If confirmed, that would be the largest harvested area in the agency’s historical series.
For the Southeast, Brazil’s main sugar cane-producing region, Conab estimates output at 459.1 million tonnes, 6.8% above the 2025/26 crop. The agency projects a 2.1% increase in harvested area in the region, to 5.7 million hectares, and an average yield of 80.852 tonnes per hectare, 4.6% above the previous crop, reflecting better weather conditions than in the last season.
