Sugar exports in 2025 fell by 19%

Brazilian sugar exports declined by 19.3% in 2025 compared with 2024, totaling 30.864 million tonnes, according to data from Agrostat, the Agriculture Ministry’s statistics system.

The drop in shipments occurred despite higher production in Brazil’s 2025/26 crop season and amid a recovery in global sugar supply.

Revenue from Brazilian sugar exports fell 30% to US$13 billion. The decline in revenue was steeper than the fall in volume due to lower international prices.
