About this indicator
The indicator tracks the price of a bag of crystal sugar in the São Paulo market, the country's main sugarcane region. Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of sugar.
A unique feature of the Brazilian market is the sugar-ethanol mix: throughout the harvest season, mills decide how much sugarcane to allocate to sugar production versus ethanol based on profitability. This permanently links sugar prices to fuel prices.
What drives prices up and down
When ethanol becomes attractive, mills redirect sugarcane to fuel production, reducing sugar supplies—and vice versa. Because ethanol competes with gasoline, fuel pricing policies directly impact sugar.
These are the other major global producers. Plentiful harvests or export subsidies in these countries drive down international prices.
The global benchmark is the raw sugar futures contract traded in New York in US dollars, converted via exchange rates.
How investors can gain exposure to sugar - sp
There is no simple way for individual investors to buy a 60-kg bag or an arroba and store it. The price on this page is for the physical market: trading there involves producers, cooperatives, trading companies, and industries.
The most direct and accessible route. Agribusiness-related companies listed on B3 have earnings sensitive to these price quotations — and you can track each one on the stocks page.
Listed funds that finance the agricultural chain, usually via CRAs and receivables. Commodity prices affect the producer's ability to pay — and therefore the fund's credit risk. Check them out under real estate funds and Fiagros.
There are live cattle, corn, soybean, and coffee contracts traded on the exchange. This is the instrument used by those who need to lock in prices (producers and industry), not a long-term investment: it requires margin requirements, has an expiration date, and involves leverage.
Commodities do not pay dividends or interest: the return comes solely from price variation. Therefore, for most investors, it makes more sense to gain exposure to agribusiness through companies and funds — which generate cash — rather than trying to time the direction of price quotations.
