Sugar Prices

Sugar prices averaged USD 16.73 cents per pound in June, down 5.4% from May. On 30 June, the commodity traded at USD 16.21 cents per pound, down 6.4% from 30 May.

Sugar prices fell to an over four-year low in June, chiefly driven by demand concerns. Additionally, analysts expect the largest output surplus in eight years in the 2025/26 marketing year, which further weighed on prices. India will contribute heavily to this surplus: The country’s industry estimates a near 20% year-on-year increase in production due to larger planted acreages and favorable weather.
