The FAO Sugar Price Index jumped 7.2% to 92.4 points in March 2026, the highest in five months, mainly influenced by higher international crude oil prices, raising expectations that Brazil, the world’s top sugar exporter, would rely more on sugarcane-based ethanol during the upcoming harvest. Additional upward pressure on sugar prices stemmed from concerns over the impact of the Near East conflict escalation on sugar trade flows. Nevertheless, the overall increase in world sugar prices was contained by the generally favourable global supply outlook for the 2025/26 season, supported by good harvest progress in India and Thailand. source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
