@NotWilmarSugar Appreciate the views @NotWilmarSugar Keep up the good work you a some others are doing here!

@StephenGeldart Thank Stephen - Your own stats show that global consumption was up by approx. 12m over these 10-y period vs a aggregated surplus of 28.5m= even on a relative basis the world should be fine stock-wise. Prices insist on saying otherwise though. Something doesn't add up.

Cane fires around Ribeirao Preto. Focus will undoubtedly turn towards the sugar mix in the next UNICA data. Is it realistic to assume the mix will hold around 49% for the next couple of months or should be expect the mix to rapidly diminish? An average of 49.5% seems too high

The search for ways to control SBR (the syndrome of low sugar content) in sugar beet goes on. Beet varieties may play a role, but it is too early to see the light at the end of the tunnel …

@ChiniMandi @iso_sugar @fooddeptgoi @guptaravipaul Dear Mr @guptaravipaul Food inflation is a major issue for the low income population. Domestic sugar prices remain at all-time record for June. It also has a huge political cost. State elections in the key state of MH. Is your comment even responsible/sane?

India's sugar industry can fuel a green future 🌎 with bioethanol. Our Director General @deepakballani highlights its potential to cut fossil fuel use. With 20% ethanol blending by 2025-26, bioethanol is set to save CO2.

#Frosts on May 29 and 30 in parts of the Novosibirsk region of #Russia have damaged #sunseed crops. Prior to this, prolonged rainfall had caused damage to all crops.

Record heatwave unfolding in the Middle East.

Iraq 🇮🇶 records its first 50°C (122°F) in the month of May and Kuwait 🇰🇼 breaks its May national record with 50.6°C 123°F).

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

With May 2024 coming in as the warmest May on record, global temperatures have been at 1.63C above preindustrial levels over the past 12 months in @CopernicusECMWF's ERA5.

A pretty sharp jump up from prior global temps we've seen, akin to the increase between 2010 and 2016:

@IndiaIsma @CNBC_Awaaz "You cannot have the cake and eat it!" Talking about cake, how's the upward revision of your estimate of India sugar consumption to 29.5M MT (+1M MT vs current irrealistic estimate)? @PIBConsumerFood #ethanol #india

[The Real Sugar Wizard @SugarWizard90]

@IndiaIsma @CNBC_Awaaz Well done, ISMA, Ethanol is indeed the way forward!! Lobbying for sugar exports is a failed project. There won't be enough sucrose for India to do both export sugar and get the ethanol program back on track. But you cannot have the cake and eat it! #india#sugar

[The Real Sugar Wizard @SugarWizard90]

Those sugar bears who argued that sugar exports would be needed to sweeten Maha mills (politicians) in order to have a stronger coalition and govern will be disappointed #MyMan#modi #incredibleIndia

“Until it actually takes place, a collapse will always be normalised, minimised, gaslighted, concealed, renamed and relabelled as anything but a collapse by the very powers of profit which brought it on.

This is why social collapse is seldom preventable and is only consciously acknowledged by academics much later than its historical occurrence: there is a substantial cognitive and temporal lag between the original event and its contextualisation.  It is to the necrosystem’s advantage that no one ever comes to grips with what is happening, even as it unfolds”

#Delhi recorded its highest ever temperature in India at 52.3 °C. That’s a serious leap. We are seeing this at ~1.5C over. Human habitation is in serious doubt for this region at 2C and the world is galloping towards that level. Adaptation and mitigation are urgent.
