The price of sugar has been rising significantly due to climate conditions, with El Niño potentially exacerbating the situation. In August, sugar prices surged by 21.5%, marking the largest monthly increase in nearly 16 years. Heatwaves have impacted sugar beet crops in Europe, leading to a projected 19% decrease in EU sugar production for the 2026-2027 season. Concerns also arise regarding production in Asia and lower yields in Brazil. Overall, sugar is now about 20% more expensive compared to the beginning of the year.
