Brazil

Sugarcane Crush

Uneventful weather forecast and cane availability supporting the increase on sugarcane crush to 630 million tons versus 603 million tons at 15/16 crop

135kg/t TRS versus 131kg/t at 15/16

Sugar Production

Sugar Mix increase due to a global deficit based on India’s anticipated reduced supply

Record high sugar production threatened by industry capacity in Brazil

Ethanol Production

Hydrous production sustained on the back of cash flow necessity

Anhydrous production on-demand to meet ANP legislation and potential exports

16/17 Center-south supply

Total overseas demand flat year over year

Bullish

China increases imports based on economics

India increases its mandate fulfillment

California imports based on LCFS and potential FX move

Bearish

Discretionary Blend reduced on plunging oil prices

Brazil imports limited by offload storage capacity

Risk of China policy change (i.e. reducing corn prices)
