What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Supreme Federal Court is deciding the amount the federal government must pay regarding decades-old sugar mill claims. The government's exposure is estimated at R$103.4 billion, or about US$19.9 billion. The dispute originated in the 1980s when fixed prices for sugar and ethanol were set, leading mills to sue, arguing the prices fell below their costs. The court previously established a rule in 2020 requiring technical proof of actual loss for compensation.

Why it matters

The ruling determines compensation eligibility for sugar mill claims, which impacts Raízen's financial position. Since Cosan maintains control over Raízen, the outcome could affect Cosan's investment value. Shell, a joint owner of Raízen, also has exposure tied to the court's decision.
