Sugar prices surge to 20.25 cents per pound amid global supply concerns
Sugar prices have risen to 20.25 cents per pound, the highest since February 2025, driven by adverse weather conditions in major producing countries. Brazil's delayed cane crushing due to excessive rainfall and India's weak monsoon have raised concerns about global sugar production. Additionally, the El Niño weather event is expected to further impact yields in key regions.
Key points
- Brazil's Center-South region's sugar production fell 26.3% year-on-year to 3.903 million tonnes in June, tightening global supplies.
- India's sugar output estimate for the 2025-26 marketing year was revised down by 5.57% to 32.40 million tonnes due to weak yields in top producing states.
- The El Niño weather event is expected to weigh on sugar production, with potential impacts on yields in major producing countries.
