Sugar prices rose on Friday, with October NY world sugar #11 (SBV25) increasing by +0.08 (+0.52%) and December London ICE white sugar #5 (SWZ25) gaining +1.10 (+0.24%).
The uptick in sugar prices came after a week of significant losses. On Thursday, NY sugar hit a 4.25-year low in nearest-futures, while London sugar dropped to a 4-year low. The increase in sugar production in Brazil is driving up supplies and putting downward pressure on prices. According to Unica, Brazil’s Center-South sugar output in the second half of August surged by 18% year-on-year to 3.872 million tonnes. Additionally, the share of sugarcane crushed for sugar in Brazil’s mills during this period rose to 54.20%, up from 48.78% in the same period last year. Despite these gains, cumulative sugar output for the 2025-26 season through August fell by 1.9% year-on-year to 26.758 million tonnes.
