Abstract

This publication presents the evolution of common industrial losses and industrial productivity of sugar and ethanol production plants in different regions of Brazil, as well as the association of these factors with the production costs of the products and their profit margins. Losses increased over the last few harvests, being 30% and 14.5% higher for the Traditional and Expansion regions, respectively. Productivity, although lower, has remained stable in the last three harvests, a consequence of the quality of industrial processes. Costs are also higher, both for white sugar and anhydrous ethanol, with sugar profit margins being better than those of ethanol, and the Expansion region performing better in terms of ethanol commercialization.
