The Caarapó sugar and ethanol mill acquisition from Raízen Group has closed for R$705 million (approximately US$136 million) in cash, roughly US$12 million below the ~US$148 million announced in July. This adds 3.5 million tons of annual crushing capacity at about US$39 per ton, with installed capacity of 6–7 million tons.
