Ukraine: Sugar Annual
Link to report:
Post forecasts marketing year (MY) 2025/26 sugar production at 1.5 million metric tons, a 17 percent decrease from Post's previous MY estimate. The main factor is uncertainty over the EU’s trade policy toward Ukraine past June 2025. The EU was a major destination for Ukrainian sugar in MY2022/23 and MY2023/24, featuring premium prices and relatively short shipping distances. Without a set policy, domestic sugar producers, who are struggling with a combination of decreased domestic consumption and large domestic stocks, have decreased their sugar beet production areas in CY2025.
