Weather & Production (24-25): • Brazil - Lower sugarcane availability along with lower sugar yields resulted in lower sugar production. EU & UK – Reduced beet planting, disease outbreaks and lower sucrose content lead to lower sugar production. • Production Outlook (25-26): • Brazil: Higher cane area along with lower mix of ethanol likely to result in higher sugar production to ~42 MMT Thailand: Favourable weather conditions and high cane prices may lead to higher sugar production to ~11.5 MMT. EU & UK: Production is expected to remain stable • • Global Consumption Outlook (25-26): • Consumption is expected to increase by ~1.2%. 28 Domestic Sugar Balance Sheet 23-24 32.00 29.00 Net of sugar sacrifice of ~2.0 MMT 24-25 (Estimated) 28.00 26.00 Net of sugar sacrifice of ~3.5 MMT (Estimated) 25-26 (Projected) 30.00 2
