Brazilian sugar and ethanol producer São Martinho reported second-quarter 2026/27 net income of BRL 50.9 million, down 71% year over year. It lowered its sugarcane-processing outlook by 3.5% to 22.8 million tonnes and reduced its average recoverable sugar estimate by 7.3% to 132.2 kilograms per tonne; it expects its corn ethanol operation to process 495,000 tonnes of corn.
Lower cane throughput and recoverable sugar point to reduced sugar and cane-based ethanol output, potentially tightening those markets. The planned corn-ethanol operation also supports corn demand, but no change to its outlook is reported.
