Sugar cane industry developments in Tucumán

Overview

The sugar cane industry in Tucumán, Argentina, continues to reach significant production and cultural milestones. The province has reached a 58% progress rate in its harvest (zafra), with 14 mills having processed 11,361,082 tons of raw cane. According to the Instituto de Promoción del Azúcar y Alcohol de Tucumán (IPAAT), saccharine yields for healthy cane have increased by 5% compared to the same period last year.

Physical sugar production in Tucumán has totaled 850,770 tons, encompassing common white, crude, organic, and refined varieties. Notably, organic sugar production has seen a 136% increase compared to the 2025 harvest at this stage. Alcohol production remains active across nine distilleries, yielding significant volumes of hydrated and anhydrous alcohol for fuel blending.

In neighboring Salta and Jujuy, the harvest is 121 days into its cycle. Five mills in these regions have processed 4,771,455 tons of raw cane, representing a 64% progress rate relative to estimated available materials. These provinces have produced 267,473 tons of physical sugar and are operating five active distilleries.

Complementing these industrial developments, Governor Osvaldo Jaldo inaugurated the Sugar Cane Museum in Monteros. The museum is part of a new cultural, educational, and tourism pole that integrates the House of Culture and Tourism and the Monteros Popular Art School. The site features a restored early sugarcane mill (trapiche) and a repurposed former mill hospital.
