Sugar prices reversed early gains and closed lower on Friday, pressured by increased sugar production in Brazil. According to data released by Unica, sugar output in Brazil’s Center-South region rose by 16% year-over-year in the first half of August, reaching 3.615 million metric tons (MT). Additionally, the share of sugarcane processed into sugar climbed to 55.00%, up from 49.15% during the same period last year. Despite the recent surge, total sugar production for the 2025-26 season through mid-August remains 4.7% lower year-over-year, totaling 22.886 million metric tons (MMT).
