This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Welcome back to the Daily Sugar Price Tracker, your go-to source for everything you need to know about sugar markets and trends. I’m Vanessa Clark, and today is Wednesday, October fifteenth, twenty twenty-five. Let’s jump right into the latest sugar price updates, recent movements in the market, and what it all means for you—whether you’re a trader, a business owner, or just curious about what’s happening with one of the world’s most important commodities.
First up, let’s talk about the numbers. Today, the price of raw sugar slipped even further, coming in at fifteen point six two cents per pound according to Trading Economics. That’s a decrease of more than one and a half percent just from yesterday. Over the last month, prices have steadily dropped almost two percent, and compared to last year at this time, we’re looking at a plunge of nearly twenty-nine percent. That’s a huge swing for a globally traded commodity, making this one of the biggest stories in the sugar market right now.
For those interested in refined sugar, or white sugar, the main contract on the ICE Futures Europe market—the December twenty twenty-five contract—closed today at four hundred forty dollars and ten cents per ton. The overall tone is clearly bearish, with downward pressure pushing the contract to a new low as sellers outnumber buyers, and the market looks vulnerable to further drops.
So, why the fall? The simple answer is supply and demand—there’s just too much sugar right now compared to global needs. BMI analysts project that global sugar production will soar to about one hundred eighty-nine point six million tons for the twenty twenty-five to twenty twenty-six season, led by bigger crops in India and strong production out of Brazil. Consumption is also rising but only slightly, so that global surplus is putting serious pressure on prices.
Brazil, as the world’s largest sugar producer, continues to drive the news. Recent reports point to a nearly eight percent year-on-year boost in Brazil’s sugar production, with even more cane being crushed compared to last year. India’s sugar harvest is also bouncing back, thanks to one of its strongest monsoon seasons in five years, with forecasts showing possible new highs in exports.
Thailand, not to be left out, is ramping up its output as well, which only adds to the sense that sugar supplies are abundant. Meanwhile, the USDA expects global sugar ending stocks to jump more than seven percent this season, confirming the idea that we could be oversupplied for quite some time.
Now, all this might sound like doom and gloom for producers, but what does it mean for you? First, if your business relies on sugar—from bakeries to beverage companies—these lower prices could be a chance to lock in some favorable costs for the year ahead. If you’re a trader, this is a moment to watch the technical levels closely; markets like this can move sharply if there’s any sign of a change in the weather or government policy.
But also, for anyone interested in the food industry or health trends, keep an eye on how these low prices could impact everything from candy makers to alternative sweetener producers and even ethanol production in countries like India and Brazil.
