Sugar Prices Slide as India Ramps Up Sugar Output

NY world sugar #11 fell $0.23 (-1.50%) to a two-week low and London ICE white sugar #5 dropped $3.70 (-0.84%). The decline is being driven by ramped-up sugar production in India, which is undercutting global prices. Expect near-term downside pressure on sugar futures and potential margin squeeze for higher-cost producers/exporters.
