Sugar production in Brazil’s Center-South is forecast to reach 40.77 million tons in the 2025-26 harvest and remain stable at 40.7 million tons in 2026-27, according to Datagro. While sugarcane crushing is expected to rise from 610.5 million to 635 million tons, the increase will likely be offset by a lower sugar mix, projected to fall from 50.7% to 48.5%. In Brazil’s North-Northeast, production is expected to drop to 3.04 million tons in 2025-26, impacted by field problems and reduced allocation to sugar. Globally, India could produce up to 30 million tons in 2025-26, while Thailand and the European Union are expected to see declines. In contrast, Central America is poised for a recovery, with production gains in El Salvador and Guatemala driven by improved weather conditions.
