Abstract: Given the historical importance of sugarcane for Brazil and considering that it continues to stand out in national agribusiness, it is important to investigate the interfaces of this activity. The objective was to analyze the changes that have occurred in the productive aspects of sugarcane, comparing the data from the 2017 Agricultural Census against 2006 and 1995. The results showed that the sector continues to represent great importance for Brazilian agriculture. In addition, the Midwest has stood out as a new producing region, with emphasis on Goiás, which came to occupy the second position in the quantity produced among the states in the 2017 Census. The Southeast continues to lead the production, with more than 60% of the Brazilian total, with São Paulo standing out. Considering the references consulted and the results found, the states that are leading the sugarcane market have greater technological capacity, aiming at productive sustainability and efficiency of processes, especially in terms of agricultural yields.
