SUGAR SHIPMENTS IN BRAZIL SET TO HIT 1.5 MILLION TONS THIS FEBRUARY

According to Williams Brazil, 38 ships were waiting to load 1.502 million tons of sugar in the week ending February 5 at Brazilian ports. With a total of 905,068 tons, Santos Port is the most important port for exports, followed by Paranaguá and Maceió. Varieties such as refined A-45, VHP, and TBC are among those sent abroad. As a result of the strong Brazilian currency, Brazilian exporters are becoming cautious, although sugar futures for March 2025 reached 20.19 cents a pound on the New York Stock Exchange. Down under heavy downpours have cut sugarcane harvests by nearly 130,000 metric tons. The Green Pool consultancy predicts a modest surplus in global supply in 2025-26, alongside a production increase.
