Sao Paulo/ New York: Acting on the market forces and realizing the drop in the demand of ethanol, sugar mills from center-south region of Brazil have allocated more cane for sugar production. According to the industry group Unica, sugar output in Brazil from April has increased by 57 per cent to 10.57 million tonnes as compared with a similar period during last year.
