Mexico: Sugar Semi-annual
Link to report:
Post forecasts sugar production for marketing year (MY) 2025/26 at 5.4 million metric tons raw value (MMT-RV), a seven percent increase from MY 2024/25, based on seasonal rains in several sugarcane-producing states during the previous marketing year and an expected recovery of the planted area. Sugar consumption for MY 2025/26 is forecasted to increase 5 percent year-over-year as lower-priced domestic sugar is favored over HFCS. Mexican industry expects large domestic sugar supplies, which could contribute to the continuation of low sugar prices. Sugar imports in MY 2025/26 are forecast to decrease 19 percent from the prior marketing year based on higher forecasted production. Around 50 percent of sugar imports are expected to come from the United States.
