>>After 38 years, it snowed in Curitiba.<< Freezer burn... Exclusive: Frost damages nearly fifth of Brazil sugar cane crop: analyst reuters.com By Reese Ewing SAO PAULO \| Wed Jul 31, 2013 5:24pm EDT (Reuters) - Last week's frosts in southern Brazil damaged nearly a fifth of the unharvested cane crop in the principal growing region, an event likely to cut sugar exports from the world's largest producer, agriculture research company Datagro said Wednesday. Severe early morning frosts on July 24 and 25 in three of Brazil's top sugar-cane states devastated large areas, Datagro President Plinio Nastari told Reuters. The cold blight comes at the peak the crushing season when more than half of Brazil's expected record 590-million-tonne crop remains unharvested. ***** Nastari said the cold that dropped to zero Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) and below for at least two days last week, combined with rain, has also reversed the normal composition of sugars in the cane. This will cause mills to favor ethanol production even more than they already have. Mills use just less than half of the cane crop to produce sugar and slightly more than half to make ethanol for the local flex-fuel car fleet and to blend into gasoline. "Now we have more glucose and fructose and less sucrose in the cane, so mills will push for ethanol production over sugar because they will have a hard time getting crystallization," he added.
