  • According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), it is caused due to increase in output in India, the EU, Thailand and China
  • Decreases in sugar output in Brazil and Australia are predicted to be offset by expansions in India, the EU, Thailand, and China
  • Sugar consumption growth will be particularly marked in Africa, Asia and South America
  • Exports are anticipated to fall in Brazil, the world's largest sugar producer and exporter; but to rise in Thailand, the second largest sugar exporter, prompted by abundant sugar stocks
