According to the newly published report, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecasts Ukraine's sugar production in the 2025/26 marketing year to reach approximately 1.49 million tons. This figure remains unchanged from the forecast made in May 2025, but it represents a decrease of about 310 thousand tons compared to the production of the 2024/25 crop year, according to information from ProAgro Group.

Core tip: The competition between U.S. and Russian suppliers on export pricing for the A season in 2026 is becoming increasingly fierce.

Consumption will remain stable, so the country will have a larger volume to export. In India, a very significant increase in production is expected compared to the previous campaign, also due to favorable weather, but also due to an increase in planted area. The improvement ...
