ORGANIC PRODUCTION


We started organic production in 2003 and today we are the second largest producer of organic sugar in the world. We produce about 45 thousand tons per harvest, with the expectation of expansion to 70 thousand tons by 2020.

All stages of the production process are inspected by IBD Certifications and we have several certifications that ensures product quality and enables the sale in Brazil and export to major world markets.

Organic production is a way of offering our customers a natural and healthy product and, at the same time, we contribute to environmental preservation.

Organic farming eliminates the use of fertilizers, pesticides and growth regulators synthetically produced. Its production system is based on crop rotation, animal manure, legumes, green manure, mechanical cultivation, natural minerals and biological pest control to maintain soil structure, provide nutrients for plants, control insects, weeds and other pests.
