Main Features of the World Sugar Economy

After one year of surplus, the world sugar economy returned to deficit in 2019. World output fell short of global use by 1.169 mln tonnes.

World production showed a reduction of 9.154 mln tonnes to 169.569 mln tonnes, a three-year low. This is the largest change since 2009. Substantial year-on-year reductions in output were noted for India (-3.638 mln tonnes), the EU (-1.880 mln tonnes), Thailand (-1.390 mln tonnes) and Pakistan (-0.950 mln tonnes). Meanwhile, production increased in Russia (+1.023 mln tonnes) compared to 2018.

World consumption declined this year, for the first time since 2011, to 170.738 mln tonnes, down 1.229 mln tonnes from last year. This fall nullifies the consumption growth in the preceding two years. World average per capita consumption in 2019 stood at 22.1 kg, down from a 2016 high of 22.9 kg.

The ISA Daily Price averaged 12.70 cents/lb, up 0.15 cents/lb on last year. The 2019 high came at the end of December, reaching 13.64 cents/lb, while the low was in September, at 11.52 cents/lb. The ISO White Sugar Price Index increased from USD343.30/tonne in 2018 to USD336.22/tonne in 2019.
