Global Concerns Impacting Sugar Markets
The Geneva Sugar Conference highlighted significant global concerns regarding US tariffs and their implications for commodity markets. A key takeaway is the anticipated reduction in sugar beet acreage for 2025, estimated to contract by 5% to 8% year-over-year across regions like France and the UK. This contraction follows a 30% price decline in 2024 due to an oversupply, leading to increased physical premiums in Brazil and Asia. Additionally, the potential impact of recessionary growth on sugar consumption is under scrutiny, noting that sugar often maintains steady demand during economic downturns, but regional consumption trends indicate a continued decline.
