Chinimandi - The International Sugar Organization (ISO) revised the overall global surplus sugar availability to 1.625 MMT for the 2025/26 season, on the back of higher expected productions in India, Thailand and Pakistan. World production is estimated at around 182 MMT, up about 5.5 MMT from last season, and the sugar consumption is projected to reach about 180 MMT, up about 1 MMT compared to the previous season. Commenting on the ISO estimate, Ale Rosete, Global Trade & Market Intelligence, Gravel DMCC said that the outlook for 2025-26 points to a global surplus, broadly consistent with the ISO’s figure. However, she stated that the surplus remains fragile, which is heavily dependent on Brazil performing well again next season.
