Sugar prices Tuesday fell sharply but remained above Monday’s significant lows. On Monday, NY sugar posted a 3-1/4 month low, and London sugar posted a 2-month low, as an increase in Brazil’s sugar production alleviated supply concerns. Last Wednesday, Conab raised its 2023/24 Brazil sugar production estimate by +15% to 46.9 MMT from an August estimate of 40.9 MMT.
