  • Sugar Prices Decline Amid Large Global Supplies and Production Gains
    February 6, 2026, 1:18 AM EST. Sugar prices fell sharply with October New York world sugar down 2.11% and October London white sugar dropping 1.45%. Global supply growth pressured markets, as Brazil's Center-South sugar output rose 8% year-on-year to 20.753 million metric tons, with the full 2024/25 season projected to reach a record 46.292 million tons. India's above-average monsoon rains suggest a large crop, though export restrictions remain to ensure domestic use and ethanol production.

Prices briefly rose last week on export control news from India but remain near multi-year lows amid abundant supplies worldwide.
