However, the current challenge is excessive rainfall during the April-September harvest period, with a calculated 90% increase compared to the historical average. These heavy rains are hindering the pace of the harvest as machinery is unable to operate normally.",

  "transcript": "So, we are seeing a really good crop in Brazil this year in terms of yields. The yields are around 80% above last year when we compare the the the season between April and August. There's a really huge increase in terms of yields for Brazil, uh because we saw really good rains between especially December and April this year. And, uh, the the the real big challenge that we're seeing this year are the rains, in fact, during the crop. So, uh, between April and September, we calculated around 90% increase of rains in terms of, uh, compared to to the the normal average, the historical average. And that's really not good for the pace of the harvest as the machinery is not able to operate normally when the rains are these huge.",
  "description": "Brazil is seeing impressive sugarcane yields, up nearly 80% compared to last year thanks to strong early rains. However, excessive rainfall between April and September (roughly 90% above historical averages) has created significant challenges in the fields, keeping heavy machinery from operating normally and slowing the harvest pace.\n\nMarcelo Bonifacio, StoneX Brazil, Senior Market Intelligence Analyst, gives an update on the sugar industry in Brazil.
