We will show you the best period to import sugar from Brazil and when you should start negotiating.
Due to its favorable conditions, Brazil produces sugar all year round, but there is a period when this production drops, marking a seasonal curve..
March, April and June would be considered the top 3 best months for imports. This is because they are at the very beginning of the sugarcane harvest in southeastern Brazil, so there is more supply of the product to the international market..
Among the list of worst months to import are October, November, December, January and September. The end of the year marks the beginning of the off-season and December and January mark the maintenance period in sugar cane mills.
If you want to import in the best months of the year, you need to start negotiations at least 60 days before the date you intend to make the first shipment.
February and March are excellent months to start negotiating and importing sugar.
