Lower Sugar Production in India Boosts Sugar Prices

March NY world sugar #11 (SBH25) today is up +0.64 (+3.32%), and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH25) is up +10.40 (+2.05%).

Sugar prices today are sharply higher, with NY sugar posting a 2-week high and London sugar posting a 1-week high.  Signs of smaller sugar production in India, the world's second-largest sugar producer, sparked short covering in sugar futures today after the Indian Sugar and Bio-energy Manufacturers Association (ISM) reported India's 2024/25 sugar production October 1 - December 31 was down -15.5% y/y to 9.54 MMT.  The lower sugar output in India could prompt the government to keep export restrictions in place and limit global sugar supplies.
