Sugar prices on Thursday rallied to 8-week highs and settled sharply higher due to concern about Brazil’s sugar crop. Alvean, the world’s largest sugar trader, said below-average precipitation in Brazil means sugarcane is underdeveloped in some areas, and if showers remain weak, the sugar harvest that begins in April could be delayed, and sugar production would suffer.
