This work is an updating of the industrial area parameters used in a 1995 study for
Copersucar member mills. Reference 11 provided the values used to assess the industry
performance data; the values related to the 2001/29002 crushing season were selected as reference.
It is important to point out that these values compare very closely with the five year average of
the crushing seasons 1998/1999 through 2002/2003.
