Global sugar markets are experiencing a sharp downturn as an unexpected surge in supply pushes prices down by nearly 30% from their annual peak. Analysts say the sudden drop has caught traders and producers off guard, raising concerns about long-term market stability.

Rice export supply is mainly drawn from the Mekong Delta region and parts of Tay Ninh province, which together account for the majority of commercial rice production.

Demand remains steady, supported by food security needs and increased buying interest at lower price levels. However, this demand has not been strong enough to absorb the excess supply quickly, keeping market fundamentals tilted toward buyers.
