摘要

Rio de Janeiro-Brazil's main sugarcane region processed 5.24% more sugarcane in the 2009-10 harvest compared with a year earlier even as rains cut the amount of ethanol produced from the crop, sugarcane association Unica said January 12. Farmers in Brazil's south-central states crushed 523.2 million mt of sugarcane to December 31 compared with 497.2 million mt in 2008-09, Unica said on its web site.
