Good growing weather has pushed estimated world production up 8% to a record 59.8 million tons, outpacing expected demand by 3.4 million tons. Cuba and Russia alone, the two largest sugar producers, may have 6.000,000 tons between them for export. If they dump it on the market, it could send world prices skidding...
