Australia: Sugar Annual

By USDA

17th April 2026

Australia’s sugar production is forecast to increase by nine percent to 4.18 million metric tons (MMT) in marketing year (MY) 2026/27, from an estimated 3.83 MMT in MY 2025/26.

Sugar cane production is projected to reach 30.7 MMT, an eight percent increase year-on-year, supported by both improved yields and a modest expansion in harvested area. The production increase reflects a return to a full growing cycle in MY 2026/27, following a shortened MY 2025/26 season caused by the late completion of the preceding harvest.
