Factors Affecting Sugar Crop Prices

In the UK, sugar beet is the main type of sugar crop grown. Around 80% of sugar beet is grown in England, with the rest coming from Scotland and Wales. The average yield per hectare has increased significantly in recent years due to advances in technology and husbandry techniques. This has helped to offset some of the impact of volatile prices on growers' incomes.

Global production levels are the main driver of sugar prices, as they determine the amount of sugar crop available on the market. Weather conditions can also have an impact, as droughts or floods can damage crops and lead to lower production levels. Political stability is also important, as unrest or trade disputes can disrupt supplies and drive up prices.
