This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Hello and welcome to the Daily Sugar Price Tracker, your one-stop podcast for everything you need to know about global sugar prices. I’m Vanessa Clark, and it’s Friday, November seventh, so let’s dive right into today’s latest updates on the sugar market.
Let’s kick off with the most current trading prices. Internationally, London’s White Sugar number five contract is trading at about four hundred fifteen dollars per ton, while New York’s Sugar number eleven front month contract is at fourteen point three two cents per pound. That’s according to daily market updates from both the International Sugar Organization and trading platforms like ICE Futures Europe. To put this in perspective, those prices are sitting near five-year lows, driven by robust global supply, especially out of Brazil, which remains the world’s largest sugar producer.
Zooming into domestic markets in India, prices are a bit more varied depending on the region. For example, in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, M-grade sugar is quoted at around four thousand to four thousand eighty rupees per quintal. Over in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, S-grade sugar is trading closer to three thousand seven hundred fifty to three thousand seven hundred eighty rupees per quintal. These variations reflect regional supply dynamics and demand patterns.
Why such a dip in prices lately? Well, several market factors are at play. Brazil has significantly increased its cane crushing and sugar production, pushing global supply higher. Their corn ethanol industry has also expanded rapidly, making it more financially attractive for mills to focus on sugar rather than ethanol. Meanwhile, India and Thailand have had favorable harvests thanks to good monsoon rains, which means more sugar in the pipeline. The FAO’s latest report noted that the global sugar price index fell over five percent in October alone, marking the lowest levels since December twenty-twenty. Lower crude oil prices have contributed, too – when oil is cheaper, demand for ethanol drops, and more cane gets diverted to sugar.
Let’s talk about the bigger picture. The global white sugar market is on track to reach forty-seven and a half billion dollars this year, with expectations to hit nearly seventy-one billion by twenty thirty-two. Asia Pacific is leading the charge, especially countries like India, Thailand, and China, due to favorable weather and government support for cane growers. At the same time, Latin America, notably Brazil, is seeing major growth in refining capacity and exports. The rise of urbanization and demand for packaged foods continues to fuel sugar consumption worldwide, even as health-conscious consumers drive interest in organic options and natural sweeteners.
Now, what does this mean for you? If you’re a buyer or business owner, these price drops might offer a good window to plan purchases. For farmers and millers, however, the low prices could signal a more competitive market, so keeping an eye on cost management and efficiency is key. For everyday listeners, this could mean slight relief in prices for a range of everyday products that use sugar, from snacks and drinks to your favorite baked goodies.
Here are a few takeaway tips for sugar market watchers:
Stay updated on crop forecasts and key producing regions like Brazil and India.
Watch currency movements, since a stronger real can impact export decisions.
Keep an eye on biofuel trends, especially ethanol production—it directly affects supply allocations.
Consider health and consumer trends; demand for organic and alternative sweeteners is rising, and this could reshape what you find on grocery shelves in the future.
