Sugar powers industries, food markets, and economies worldwide, but which countries dominate sugar production?
Brazil leads the global sugar industry with the highest production, followed by India, the European Union, China, Thailand, the United States, Pakistan, Russia, Mexico, and Australia. These nations contribute significantly to the global sugar supply through large-scale farming, advanced processing, and strong agricultural systems.
