Bumper Brazil Harvest To Depress Near-Term Sugar Price Despite Indian Export & Blending Restrictions
- India is top global sugar producer & exporter. India ordered mills to halt ethanol blending on domestic shortage concerns in addition to export restrictions imposed earlier this year.
- Sugar prices soared to a 12 year high in late Oct. Despite India’s order on blending, global sugar prices have tanked 13% since start of Dec.
- Brazil’s bumper sugar crop will depress near term prices. However, intensifying effects of El Niño could send sugar prices soaring during later part of next year.
