BRAZILIAN ORANGE J UICE: EN ROUTE TO SUSTAINABILITY
MAIN HIGHLIGHTS
As the largest orange juice producer in the world, Brazil already knows that improving and multiplying good social, economic and environmental practices is the most sustainable path to increase productivity. Within this context, the industry, which is already a market leader and pioneer in adopting good sustainable practices, faces the challenges of increasing transparency, seeking integration between the links of the chain and especially, the constant improvement in relation to environmental, social and economic sustainability. Over half the orange juice on the planet comes from Brazilian groves. Europe is the main destination of Brazilian exports. Respectful of labor: adopts practices to increase workers’ safety and comfort in the groves and mitigate health hazards in the case of pesticide application. CitrusBR fights and repudiates the use of child labor in its entire production chain. The industry is responsible for 230 thousand direct and indirect jobs. Productivity in Brazilian groves has gone from 15 tons/ha to 29 tons/ha in the past 15 years, thanks to the use of technological innovations and precision agriculture in activities such as fertilization, irrigation, grove population and appropriate soil use. Most part of the water necessary for the production process comes from the fruit itself. Fruit waste is transformed into byproducts, resulting in zero disposal of solid orange waste. More rational control measures are being analyzed and implemented in citrus pest management, through biological control, insecticides selective to natural enemies and behavioral control. CitrusBR traces the carbon footprint of the entire concentrate and non-concentrate orange juice production since 2009, and is developing a pilot project on water use. All the port terminals have ISO 14001 certification. The vehicle fleet has been using more fuel from renewable resources and/or less polluting fuels, such as: ethanol, Brazilian gasoline (contains 25% ethanol) or Brazilian diesel (contains 5% biodiesel). The Brazilian industry mostly uses energy from renewable resources, such as hydropower plants and burning sugarcane bagasse. It is worth noting that the Brazilian citrus products follow, voluntarily and strictly, the Sure, Global, Fair (SGF) code of conduct; the entity has the mission of promoting safety and quality of fruit-based products. From time to time, the SGF inspects and audits plants, in order to guarantee compliance with European standards and industrial self-regulation (even stricter), in addition to product authenticity and quality.

TODAY
99% of non-irrigated groves, when irrigated, were irrigated by sprinklers, a system that consumes more water, power and labor
20% of groves are irrigated, using the fertirrigation technique through droplets, which presents higher efficiency and higher savings with water and fertilizers
250 to 300 trees/hectare
400 to 600 trees/hectare, some groves have over 800 trees/hectare
3 to 6 thousand liters of water/hectare
1 to 3 thousand liters of water/hectare
15 tons/hectare
29 tons/hectare, in the more technified properties, over 80 tons can be obtained
(*) Stock volume is the mixture of water with agrochemicals. Practices as specific applications, regional disease and pest management and reduction of stock volume allow the decrease in both components utilization.
