S&P Global Commodity Insights has revised its forecast for EU-UK sugar production for the 2022/23 season, reducing it by 570,000 tonnes to 16.8 million due to the impact of a recent pesticide ban.

Despite these adjustments, S&P Global anticipates a slight 1% rise in the total sugar beet planted area across the EU and the UK.
