  • Sugar Prices Decline After USDA Projects India Sugar Surplus for 2026/27
    April 30, 2026, 3:00 PM EDT. Sugar prices fell on Thursday as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecast a 2.5 million metric ton surplus in India's 2026/27 sugar output, the first surplus in two years. India, the world's second-largest sugar producer, prompted a selloff after initial gains. Prices initially rose supported by soaring gasoline prices, which boost ethanol demand and lead Brazilian mills to shift more cane crushing towards ethanol production, lowering sugar output. Brazil's Center-South region reported an 11.9% year-on-year drop in sugar production for the first half of April. Meanwhile, the USDA forecast Brazil's 2026/27 sugar output to decline 3%. Global sugar supplies appear tightening, with analysts cutting surplus projections, but abundant supplies and weak demand continue to pressure prices.
