About Sugar
Sugar is an agricultural commodity produced mainly from sugar cane and sugar beet, with uses in food, beverages and industrial processing. International prices are referenced through futures markets, with raw sugar commonly quoted in US cents per pound and white sugar in US dollars per tonne. The quotation basis depends on the underlying reference contract.
Sugar has a distinctive connection to both agricultural and energy markets. Cane processors can allocate output between sugar and ethanol, linking production decisions to fuel economics. Weather, harvest cycles and processing capacity also shape supply, while differences between raw and refined sugar mean that refining costs and logistics can influence pricing across the market.

SUGAR questions
Why can energy prices influence sugar prices?
Sugar cane can be processed into sugar or ethanol. Changes in fuel economics can affect how processors allocate cane between these products, potentially altering the amount of sugar available for sale. This creates a link between sugar supply and energy markets.
Are raw sugar and white sugar quoted in the same way?
Raw and white sugar have separate futures references and different quotation conventions. Raw sugar is commonly quoted in US cents per pound, while white sugar is commonly quoted in US dollars per tonne. The applicable basis depends on the reference contract.
When can Sugar (SUGAR) be traded on Xellion?
