How are sugar producers and traders managing risk and finding opportunities? With sugar markets struggling under the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry is working hard to recover and build a more solid future.

How are sugar prices impacted? What are governments doing to step in? What’s being done to mitigate risk? Are there opportunities to be found?

This event builds on the successful Miami Sugar Conference series, launched in 2014. It features the leading voices of the sugar industry in the Americas.

As an online offering, the key issues and debates will be condensed into two hours of in-depth discussion about the direction and movement of the sugar industry. We’ll cover global sugar market trends, and the views of sugar analysts and traders with an understanding of sugar in the Americas.

What's included

You can expect live presentations, live interaction, and the opportunity to engage in questions and answers with the speakers throughout, right from your desk. This event also includes a networking app you can access from your computer (as well as your phone), so you can reach out to other attendees before, during, and after the event.
