MELBOURNE, Nov 5 (Bloomberg): Global sugar production may increase in the second half of 2010, driven by higher prices and improved weather conditions, JPMorgan Chase & Co said.
Output may rise to 165 million tonnes in 2010, compared with consumption of 160 million tonnes, the bank said in an e-mailed report dated November 4. That's up from production of 151 million tonnes in 2009 and demand of 158 million tonnes, it said.
