Alvean brings European delegation to Brazil to learn about the Copersucar ecosystem

Specialized in the origination, commercialization, and trading of sugar, Alvean integrates into the Copersucar ecosystem as a strategic business arm for supplying the international market. In order to further strengthen the relationship and trust with financial institutions, the company welcomed, for the first time in Brazil, representatives from 11 major international banks.

Between October 2nd and 5th, the delegation, composed of representatives from these banks in the agribusiness sector, had the opportunity to closely observe the operations of the Copersucar Sugar Terminal (TAC) in Santos (São Paulo), the sugar production at a Copersucar-associated mill in the São Paulo countryside, as well as visit the Sugarcane Technology Center (CTC).

The visits were accompanied by Alvean’s CEO, Mauro Angelo, the company’s CFO, Edouard Huberdeau, and a multidisciplinary team comprising employees from various sectors of Alvean and Copersucar.

On the first day, the delegation visited the company’s office in the capital of São Paulo for presentations about Alvean, the operations, and the business model of Copersucar, as well as market scenarios with details about the Brazilian sugar-energy sector and the sugar and ethanol markets.

The following day, they visited the TAC, observed the ships, and were part of the operations, emphasizing safety procedures.

On the 4th day, the delegation visited the São Manoel Mill, where they received an institutional presentation about the operations and how Copersucar’s associate positions itself in society, highlighting projects, sustainability commitments, and Brazilian regulations. Later, the visitors learned about the production process of the mill, from harvest in the sugarcane fields to the finished product ready for transportation to the port.

Following that, the group headed to the CTC in Piracicaba (São Paulo), where they were introduced to and informed about the sugar cane varieties developed there, new planting technologies with seeds that will significantly contribute to increasing cane productivity and the sector’s competitiveness in Brazil.
