Just caught the latest sugar crash - March NY futures hit a 2.5-month low while London white sugar dropped to a 5-year low. Prices are getting completely undercut by what looks like a massive global supply glut building up.
The numbers are pretty wild. Multiple analysts are now calling for 2-4.7 MMT surpluses for 2025/26. India's ramping up production hard - up 22% year-over-year recently, and their government is pushing them to export more to clear domestic stockpiles. Brazil's also crushing it, with output hitting record levels around 45 MMT expected. Thailand's third-largest producer is increasing too, up 5% expected. When you've got the three biggest producers all increasing simultaneously, prices get undercut fast.
The USDA just projected global production climbing 4.6% to a record 189.3 MMT while consumption only grows 1.4%. That gap is brutal for the market. Even India's decision to allow more exports under their quota system is adding pressure - they're trying to move 1.5 MMT out to ease their own supply situation.
What's interesting is the longer-term picture. Some forecasters think 2026/27 could see tighter supplies, but that's probably too far out to matter right now. For now, supply is clearly the dominant force here, and prices are getting undercut across the board. The outlook for next season production stays elevated, so I don't see this pressure easing anytime soon.
