This was told in an interview with AgroPortal.ua by Acting Yana Kavushevska, chairman of the board of the Ukrainian National Technical University "Ukrtsukor". "If we take into account the 2022/2023 marketing year (in the EU it is counted from October 1, 2022 to October 1, 2023, while in Ukraine it is from September 1 to September 1. — Ed.), then on the territory of the countries the European Commonwealth imported more than 2.5 million tons of sugar from all directions, and already in 2023/2024, the Europeans increased their own production, and imports decreased to 1.44 million tons," she states. At the same time, Yana Kavushevska emphasizes that the EU imports sugar not only from Ukraine. Among the largest suppliers of sugar to the EU are Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. "In our conversations with European colleagues, we emphasize that, first of all, we want to compete not with local producers, but with other exporters whose sugar the EU imports. And if Europeans have questions for Ukrainians regarding the implementation of decarbonization programs and the use of a wider range of pesticides, then, for example, there should be similar questions for Brazilians

International analysts at The Economist expect global sugar consumption to increase by 1.8% in the 2024/25 MY and by 1.7% in the 2025/26 MY, which is higher than the average of 0.8% in 2018-23. This increase is explained by the decline in world sugar prices and the strengthening of the global economy.

It is important for the Europeans that the Ukrainian side organizes exports by introducing a quota distribution mechanism
