  • Thailand's Strong Sugar Exports Weigh on Sugar Prices
    May 23, 2026, 5:00 PM EDT. Sugar prices fell on July 21 as strong Thai sugar exports pressured the market. July New York sugar futures dropped 1.34% while August London white sugar closed down 0.58%. Thailand's sugar exports for January-April 2026 rose 29% year-on-year to 1.6 million metric tons (MMT), the second-largest exporter globally. The International Sugar Organization (ISO) forecasts record global sugar production of 182 MMT for 2025/26, with a surplus of 2.2 MMT. However, concerns over a possible El Niño weather event-expected to reduce rainfall in key producing countries Brazil, India, and Thailand-support price stability. Analysts project a global deficit of around 262,000 MT in 2026/27 due to production cuts and export bans, creating a complex backdrop for sugar markets.
