Ballasting of agricultural tractors

Sugarcane is one of the main products of the Brazilian economy. Culture that never stops, moves Brazil, is a rich source of renewable energy.
Brazil has 9,5 million hectares planted, which produced 2019 million tons of sugarcane in the 20/645 harvest. The numbers are impressive, but it's important to say that we don't just grow sugarcane, we grow energy.
Sugar, ethanol, biodiesel, bioplastics, animal feed, clean energy, among other products, are produced from sugarcane, generally with processes supported by energy generated by its own biomass.
Sugar, for example, is a direct source of energy. A fundamental input for life, the product is present in Brazilians' daily lives. In coffee, bread and countless sources that provide strength for everyday activities.
On the streets and roads, ethanol, renewable energy, 100% Brazilian, moves Brazil forward. Not to mention the biodiesel, which workers carry every day, in their daily mission to face their challenges.
Sugarcane is also a clean alternative that lights up cities, sustainable electrical energy from biomass, in favor of Brazilians.
And alongside this culture that never stops, FMC has been helping farmers with innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions for over 40 years. Present throughout the entire crop cycle, operating from planting to harvest, with high quality products and excellent performance, FMC is proud of this partnership and knows that investing in sugarcane is investing in Brazilians.
We are leaders in sugarcane cultivation and continue to invest in new technologies to continue contributing to the growth of the sugar-energy sector.

Therefore, we have FMC's Paulínia Research, Development and Innovation Center, which is the only station that develops exclusive innovations for the sugar-energy sector for the company in all locations around the world. Now, we want to go further in this partnership and show the importance of sugarcane for our country, and for the world. Innovating together, so Brazil doesn't stop.
