The number of vessels carrying sugar in Brazilian ports declined from 85 to 75 for the week ending September 24, according to Williams Brazil. However, the entire volume, which remains above 3 million tons, is primarily concentrated at the Port of Santos (2.14 million tons), with Paranaguá (565 thousand tons) and other smaller ports trailing behind. The shipments include a substantial amount of VHP sugar (2.86 million tons), as well as Crystal, Refined, and TBC. According to Secex, Brazil’s sugar and molasses exports in September totaled 2.4 million tons, generating USD 963 million in income at an average price of USD 400 per ton.
