EconomyRussian sugar production seen sustaining strong export potential, central bank says
Russia’s sugar output could reach 6.3 million metric tons in the 2026–2027 season, the Bank of Russia said, citing industry analysts. Beet harvest volume was down 13.2% year on year by late September, but yields were significantly higher in southern regions. Consumer sugar prices rose year on year in September as stocks dwindled and exports increased amid rising global prices.
