Sugar prices are influenced by many factors including global supply and demand, weather conditions in major growing regions, and government policies affecting agriculture and trade. Brazil, as the world’s largest sugar producer and exporter, has a significant impact on global sugar prices, particularly through its domestic ethanol policies which affect the amount of sugarcane used for sugar versus ethanol production. Other factors affecting sugar prices include changes in consumption patterns, health concerns about sugar intake, and competition from alternative sweeteners. Macroeconomic factors such as currency exchange rates, particularly the Brazilian real and the US dollar, can also impact sugar prices. Additionally, energy prices can influence sugar prices through their effect on ethanol production and general agricultural input costs.
