Synopsis (short abstract) International sugar prices fell by more than 30% in 2014. The prospect of a global sugar production deficit has led to a price increase at the start of the current season, but with stocks still at comfortable levels, the price increase is expected to average slightly above 2% in the 2015 marketing year (see glossary for a definition of marketing year)..

    OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2016-2025 Commodity Snapshots: Cereals 2016
    Also available in:
    Global cereal markets have been characterised over the past few years by abundant supplies amid slower demand growth. As a result, world inventories have increased and international prices of all cereals have fallen to relatively low levels compared to the previous decade. Even the decline in world cereal production in 2015, following the 2014 record harvest, could not reverse this downward pressure, leading to further declines in international prices during the 2015 marketing year (see glossary for a definition of marketing year). Given the early prospects in world cereal output for this season, weak demand and large inventories in 2016, global markets are likely to experience relatively low prices. Against this background, only radical or sudden changes in demand or supply are likely to alter the short-term outlook.
