- 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
