Sugar and ethanol — mid-size — Business MegaBrands 2026–27

Mid-size sugar and ethanol companies operate one or a few cane-crushing mills, often with attached distilleries and bagasse-fired power plants. Their fortunes follow the cane harvest, government cane rates and ethanol procurement rates. These mills are principal buyers of farm produce in their districts, and settle payments with large numbers of cane growers each season.
