  • India's Strong Sugar Output Pressures Global Prices Lower
    January 20, 2026, 4:59 PM EST. Sugar prices fell on Tuesday amid robust production reports from India and Brazil. The India Sugar Mill Association (ISMA) said India's sugar output for 2025-26 increased 22% year-on-year to 15.9 million metric tonnes (MMT) between Oct 1 and Jan 15. ISMA also raised its full-season output estimate to 31 MMT, while cutting sugar for ethanol use, potentially lifting exports. Brazil's sugar production, according to Unica and Conab, also rose, with 2025-26 estimates reaching 45 MMT, contributing to a bearish market outlook. Analysts like Covrig Analytics increased the projected 2025-26 global sugar surplus to 4.7 MMT. While Brazil's sugar output is expected to decline in 2026-27, the current surplus and high speculative long positions in London ICE white sugar futures are weighing on prices.
