The FAO Sugar Price Index soared 11.9% to 106.4 points in August 2026, reaching a new high since June 2025, amid growing concerns over the global sugar supply outlook in the 2026/27 season. Persistent hot and dry weather led to a downward revision of sugar beet yield forecasts in the European Union, where planted area was already anticipated to decline from the previous season, while El Niño-related weather conditions continued to affect production prospects in key producing countries in Asia. Lower sugar production in Brazil’s key Center-South growing region also contributed to the tighter supply outlook. Additionally, India's announcement of duty-free raw sugar imports further contributed to the increase in international sugar prices. source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
