The FAO Sugar Price Index soared 6.1% to 114 points in September 2026, marking its third consecutive monthly increase and reaching its highest level since April 2025. The increase was mainly driven by prospects of tighter global sugar supplies in the 2026/27 season. In the European Union, a decline in planted area and adverse weather conditions during the growing season are expected to result in a smaller sugarbeet output. Forecasts of lower sugar production in Thailand and concerns over crop prospects in India, amid below-normal rainfall and strengthening El Niño conditions, contributed to the tighter global supply outlook. In addition, heavy rains disrupting harvest progress in Brazil’s key Centre-South growing region exerted further upward pressure on international sugar prices. source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
