Market participants state that weaker demand has caused some concerns about large deliveries of contracted sugar in the weeks ahead, as futures prices retreat to near \u00a0four-year lows.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar prices have decreased in the past three months as the USDA projects a global sugar surplus,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/app.expanamarkets.com\/en\/article\/723342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Expana reported<\/a>\u00a0(customer access only). The outlook is higher for sugar production in India, which has had a bearish effect on prices. The country is the world\u2019s second-largest sugar producer.\u00a0 India\u2019s sugar production is expected to rise 19% y-o-y, totaling 35 million metric tons.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.urnerbarry.com\/Images\/Capture_96.PNG\" width=\"600\" height=\"365\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, sugar prices have some support from reduced production in Brazil. Sugar production in Brazil\u2019s center-south region decreased 22% in the first half of June compared to a year prior, according to UNICA\u00a0. This was a slightly steeper decline than expected, as UNICA reported that sugar production totaled 2.45 million metric tons, down from 3.15 million metric tons a year ago. The year prior was a record high though, as Brazil\u2019s sugar cane fields performed exceptionally well due to favorable weather conditions, investment in field renovation, and yield improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar demand concerns were reflected in the USDA\u2019s June Sweetener Market Data report, which showed deliveries for human consumption\u00a0 down 6% y-o-y. Also, deliveries for October through April were down 3% from a year ago. When including lower exports in the US and miscellaneous use, total sugar use was down nearly 9% y-o-y. Deliveries for categories like dairy, confectionery, wholesale, and retail have declined from the previous year, supporting a bearish market sentiment as industry players cite limited trading activity compared to last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Need to know what&#8217;s coming up in the second half of 2025 in the sugar market?
