One of the biggest factors impacting sugar production aside from weather conditions has been the volume of mud in the cane fields. But according to Osorio the data they have collected has shown a decrease in mud content being delivered to the factory. He compared those numbers in an interview today.

"Right at the stop we were, if I'm not mistaken, we were at around 15,000 tons of sugar and the mud was at around 18,000 tons. So that have changed and as we speak, we are at 28,000 tons of sugar and 24,000 tons of mud."
"So we have seen a significant improvement in mod levels. Presently the overall average is at 6.44 and that clearly tells us when mud levels are low, inequality is better, the mill is also able to mill more efficiently and increase milling rates."
"As we are in terms of the crop is going well, we are hoping that we can maximize in the next six to eight weeks that we estimate or forecast that there whether we continue as this right now, the dry, real dry time of the year and that we can maximize in deliveries and maximize in clean quality to do as much as we can."
