Sugar  1912-2018 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast | News

Sugar prices fell on Monday amid concerns that India’s measures to support the sugar industry will boost production. A rise in subsidy to 13.88 rupees per 100 kilograms of cane to sugar mills from 5.5 rupees in 2017-2018 season and a transport reimbursement are some of the measures that are expected to be discussed this week by the government. India is the world’s second biggest sugar producer after Brazil. Sugar futures dropped 4.8% or USD 0.52 per pound, hitting its lowest level since August 28th around 11:20 AM New York time. Historically, Sugar reached an all time high of 65.20 in November of 1974 and a record low of 1.25 in January of 1967.
