Sugar Prices Soar as Energy Crisis Boosts Ethanol Output

Yahoo– (Bloomberg) — The global energy crunch is putting pressure on the sugar market as the world’s top exporters convert more cane into ethanol.

Sugar hit a four-year high in October as energy supply shortages roiled commodity markets from magnesium to tomatoes. Facing rampant fuel inflation, Brazil and India are set to produce more ethanol from sugar cane, ensuring supply of sweetener remains tight.

“These are the two big players in the sugar market and the fact that the pressure’s on them to produce more ethanol in the next 12 months is supportive of sugar prices,” said John Stansfield, a trader and analyst at Group Sopex. more

  1. Hilarious….The greenies favorite Target is “Big Sugar” here in Florida.

    Compared to the rest of the World, it’s pretty clean.

    Now that They’ve stopped Energy Sources in the USA, India and Brazil will crank

    up They’re “Dirty Sugar” Operations and do twice as much harm….

    Every single thing these Idiots touch…Makes it worse.

  2. The ENERGY PRICES soaring as well as the carbon taxes are DESIGNED to stop you from Travelling, Eating meat, Building the size of Home that you want, and living outside of the Cities.

    Farmers/Country Folks are Much Harder to Control. Ci-diots (citi-idiots) are much easier to control.

    That is the Build back better!

  3. Same thing happened with corn. That’s a major reason why beef is so expensive. Corn used to be a common filler food for beef. It was inexpensive and plentiful. Then they started making fuel with it and ‘poof’, 20 years later the price of beef is through the roof now.

  4. Currently 40% of Americas corn goes to ethanol production. One of the byproducts of ethanol production is high-fructose corn syrup. ADM & Cargill lobbied congress to place a tariff on sugar, so high-fructose corn syrup is the cheaper alternative. The only thing more hazardous to your health than high-fructose corn syrup are artificial sweeteners.
    The reason artificial sweeteners are promoted, is because it is cheaper to produce, higher profit margin.
    The whole system is corrupt.
    Not to mention ethanol is shitty fuel, it has 30% less energy than gasoline, it is not a clean burning fuel, and actually eats engines.
    Ethanol is hydrophilic, meaning is you leave it an unsealed gas can, is can draw enough water in 30 days that it won’t actually burn.
    With low fuel prices, like a year ago, ethanol wasn’t profitable to produce. Now with Dumbasscrats in charge, profits are booming for agar-business.

  5. If I see a label on any food item that says it has high fructose corn syrup in it I will not buy it. I look for alternatives that have no high fructose corn syrup in them anymore. I also avoid any food items that have a high sodium content in it as much as possible, fortunately more and more canned and processed foods are starting to reduce their sodium levels which is good. I also prepare most of my meals thru good old fashioned home cooking for the most part as much as possible.

    A friend of mine was about to be treated for MS. She drank 8-10 diet sodas a day. She happened to meet a herbologist, quit diet soda and recovered. The “doctors” didn’t bother to investigate.
