Sugar prices rallied sharply on Monday, with NY sugar posting a 1.75-month nearest-futures high. Sugar prices rose on carryover support from last Thursday, when Unica reported that the sugar content in Brazil's Center-South sugarcane crush declined, signaling lower sugar production. The sugar content in crushed cane in the first half of September in Brazil dropped to 154.58 kilograms per ton (kg/ton) versus 160.07 kg/ton a year earlier.
