  • Sugar Prices Weaken Amid Rising Global Surpluses and Production
    January 27, 2026, 1:38 AM EST. March NY sugar futures rose 0.48% to $0.07 on a weak dollar, while London white sugar declined 0.95% amid ample global supplies. Brazil's 2025-26 sugar output is up 0.9% year-on-year at 40.222 million metric tons (MMT), with a higher ratio of cane crushed for sugar versus ethanol. India boosted its 2025-26 production forecast to 31 MMT, up 18.8%, and cut sugar-for-ethanol use, potentially increasing exports. The Indian government plans to allow an additional 1.5 MMT of sugar exports, easing domestic stockpiles. Global sugar surplus estimates increased, with Covrig Analytics raising 2025-26 surplus to 4.7 MMT, and ISO forecasting a 1.625 MMT surplus following a prior deficit. Brazil's sugar output is expected to fall in 2026-27, possibly supporting future prices. Overall, elevated production and export prospects are keeping sugar prices pressured.
