Sugar and ethanol producer with 4.75M tons annual milling capacity
Usina Santa Adélia is a São Paulo-based sugar and ethanol mill operating two facilities and generating electricity from bagasse byproduct. The company runs SAP for core operations alongside Python, R, SQL, Spark, and Hadoop for data work—a moderate analytics stack for an agribusiness operator. Hiring pressure centers on operations (36 roles) and engineering (12), with 50 placements posted in the last 30 days; the pain-point cluster (maintenance cost reduction, equipment downtime, rework elimination) suggests the operations push is tied to mill reliability and efficiency.
Usina Santa Adélia was founded in 1937 and operates two mills in Jaboticabal and Pereira Barreto, São Paulo, employing approximately 3,400 people. The company produces sugar, ethanol, and co-generates electricity sold to Brazil's national grid. In the 2022/2023 harvest, it milled 4.75 million tons of cane, yielding 139,374 thousand tons of sugar, 305,171 thousand liters of ethanol, and 117.37 MWh per ton of cane as exported power. Products reach domestic and international markets through Copersucar, a global sugar and ethanol trading cooperative. The company holds environmental certifications and emphasizes workforce development through career progression and training programs.
