This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Welcome back to the Daily Sugar Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark and today is Wednesday, November nineteenth, twenty twenty-five. If you follow sugar prices or work in the sugar industry, I am here to give you the most up-to-date news, trends, and trading prices from around the world, all in a friendly, down-to-earth way.
Let’s jump right in with the latest: As of today, sugar is trading at fourteen point eight seven cents per pound. That is a slight bump up of just over one percent from yesterday, but when you look at the bigger picture, sugar prices have had a rough ride in recent months. Over the past month, sugar has dropped more than five percent, and compared to this time last year, prices are down just over thirty percent. That is a dramatic swing, especially for anyone in the business of buying or selling sugar.
Now, you might be wondering what is driving all these changes. A key factor is the shift in global supply and demand. According to Trading Economics, the International Sugar Organization is now forecasting a global surplus for the twenty twenty-five to twenty twenty-six season. Specifically, they expect a surplus of one point six three million tons, which is a big reversal from last season where the world actually faced a sugar deficit. This change mainly comes from stronger-than-expected production in some of the world’s sugar powerhouses, including India, Thailand, and Pakistan.
Speaking of policy developments, the Indian government recently approved sugar mills to export up to one point five million tons for the new season. This is slightly lower than previous estimates, probably in an effort to balance domestic prices and keep enough supply for their local market. Meanwhile, Brazil, which leads the world in both sugar production and exports, has also reported a surge in their latest sugar output. New data says their center-south sugar region increased production by over sixteen percent this October, compared to last year.
With all this extra sugar hitting the global market, prices have struggled to hold steady. For buyers, especially manufacturers and big food companies, these lower prices could be a window to lock in contracts and possibly cut costs on everything from candies to beverages. But for producers, lower prices can squeeze profit margins, especially as production costs keep rising. In light of this, industry players are pushing governments to increase the minimum selling price, particularly in countries like India, to help offset those higher costs.
If you are just tracking sugar for your weekly groceries or love a good trivia fact, here is a quick nugget: sugar prices today are hovering around their lowest levels since December of twenty twenty. Back then, the price was in a very similar range, and anyone who followed the market saw how quickly things can change due to harvests, weather, and global trading policies.
Looking ahead, many analysts expect sugar to keep trading in this fourteen to fifteen cents per pound range for the next quarter, but if this surplus grows or new policies emerge, we could see more downward pressure by next year.
Before I go, here are a couple actionable takeaways: If you are a small business using sugar, now might be a good time to talk to suppliers about fixed contracts while prices are lower. For investors, staying tuned to policy changes—especially in India and Brazil—can give a heads-up on where prices head next.
That wraps up today’s Daily Sugar Price Tracker. I hope this gives you a clear, friendly, and practical view of what is happening in the sugar market right now. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an update. Thanks so much for listening, and I will catch you next time.
