Brazil has the ability to mitigate the global sugar surplus of this crop because of its large ethanol market, concluded Marcelo Mancini, Atvos’s SANTANDER ISO DATAGRO Sugar&Ethanol Conference 2018, held today (09) in New York. According to him, combined with the high flexibility of production and the competitive differentials created by the sugar and ethanol industry over the years, Brazil is the only country in the world with flex fuel vehicles and a mixture of 27% anhydrous.
“The competitive advantage we have in relation to other sugar producing countries is very large. Our agribusiness units have great flexibility of production, being able to alter the mix between sugar and ethanol, adapting to the needs of the market and maximizing the profitability of the sector. However, the large volume of production in countries with high subsidies is changing the scenario of competitiveness, “explains the executive, according to a statement released by the company’s advisory.
During the event, which brings together the world’s leading industry leaders, Mancini stressed that Brazilian industries are constantly looking for technologies that provide greater efficiency and productivity. “Atvos is a good example of this. In just 10 years, the company has consistently evolved its operational indicators and is now ready for a new boom in the bioenergy sector in Brazil. “
