Brazil sugar exports up 44% in early February on daily average, prices slide
Brazil’s sugar and molasses exports surged in early February 2026, with daily shipment volumes up 44% year-on-year. However, average export prices dropped 22.6% to $370/ton. Strong volumes lifted daily export revenues by 11.5%, indicating aggressive supply in global markets despite ongoing price pressure.
Exports of sugar and molasses from Brazil during the first ten business days of February recorded a daily average 44% higher than that seen in February 2025. The data come from a report released by the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, through its Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex).
Data compiled by Datamar’s Business Intelligence department indicates that Brazil exported over 31 million tons of sugar throughout the full year 2025. The following chart provides a comparison of monthly sugar shipments from Brazil to international markets, according to data available on the DataLiner platform:
While February 2025 showed a daily average of 91,257.5 tonnes shipped, totaling 1,825,149.7 tonnes over 20 business days, early February 2026 saw the daily average rise to 131,384.7 tonnes. Cumulatively, Brazil has exported 1,313,847.3 tonnes of sugar and molasses.
Despite the sharp increase in volume, average prices remain under pressure year over year. The average price per tonne fell 22.6%, from USD 477.8 in February 2025 to USD 370.1 this month.
Even so, higher shipment volumes supported growth in average daily revenue. Daily export revenue rose 11.5%, from USD 43.607 million to USD 48.624 million. As a result, cumulative revenue over the first ten business days of February 2026 reached USD 486.238 million, compared with USD 872.146 million recorded for the full month of February 2025.
