Sugar production in Russia for the 2026–2027 season is projected to reach 6.3 million metric tons, the Bank of Russia said in its regional economy report.

"As a result, Russia's high export potential will be maintained," the Central Bank said.

Consumer sugar prices continued to grow year-on-year in September 2026. The current price hike is driven by the gradual depletion of stocks and the increase in exports amid rising global prices, the report indicates.
