  • Sugar Prices Rise on Worries Over India's Drought-Affected Crop
    June 18, 2026, 8:55 AM EDT. Sugar prices climbed for a second day amid concerns over India's sugar crop due to a 32% below-normal monsoon rainfall as of mid-June, according to India's Meteorological Department. July New York sugar futures gained 0.65%, while August London white sugar futures rose 0.60%. The looming El Niño weather pattern, confirmed by Japan's Meteorological Agency, threatens reduced rainfall in Brazil, India, and Thailand-key sugar producers. Crude oil prices dropped sharply, pressuring ethanol prices and potentially diverting more sugarcane to sugar production, affecting global supply. Trade analysts Czarnikow and USDA's forecasts reflect tightened supply balances, with Brazil cutting sugar output but increasing ethanol. India revised down its sugar production and exports amid quota systems. USDA predicts an Indian sugar surplus in 2026/27, the first in two years. The International Sugar Organization anticipates a global sugar crop record for 2025/26 despite localized challenges.
