India’s early harvest has driven a sharp jump in sugar output, cutting near-term import needs and pressuring global sugar prices. The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories said output in the current crush season reached 845,000 tonnes as of Oct. 31, more than eight times a year earlier. Early gains and investor profit-taking pushed New York raw sugar futures down as much as 3.5% on Tuesday to their lowest since late September; London white sugar futures also fell. Domestic stocks remain low and mills are accelerating production to contain local prices, but markets worry a strong El Nino could reduce yields and push the global sugar market toward a supply deficit; season cumulative output is still expected to be below normal. Greenleaf Consultancy analyst Harsh Soni said the strong start was unsurprising and that markets will react to actual data.
