For years, sugar beets were a lifeline for American farmers. More than half of domestically produced sugar comes from the white-fleshed root crops, and robust demand from the world's top sugar-consuming nation has shielded growers from more volatile crops like corn, soybeans and wheat. But not this year. A dramatic drop in US consumption and excess imports have ballooned stockpiles. Refined beet sugar prices are down 33% from a year ago, their lowest level since 2019, and a sugar supply glut is projected to last through at least 2026. |
