Understanding the figures

  • Regional definitions: MAPA's "Northeast" block has 6 states (AL, BA, PB, PE, RN, SE); Conab and IBGE use all 9 Northeast states.
  • Employment: "jobs on Dec 31" follow the official MTE rule excluding abandoned contracts (19,357). The RAIS dashboard shows 20,129 without that exclusion.
  • Foreign trade: exports are assigned to the state of production (SG_UF_NCM); imports to the state of the importer's tax domicile.
  • By-product estimates (bagasse, vinasse, filter cake, potential CO₂) use technical coefficient ranges and are not published in this edition until validated with the mills.
  • Crop season, calendar year, reference date and cumulative totals are different time bases.
  • 2026 data are partial: trade through August; CBIOs through 06 October 2026.
  • Individual mill figures are not disclosed: the portal presents sector aggregates only.

Reference edition: October 2026. Based on the Sindalcool-PB dossier for the Canton Fair 2026 mission.
