8 Countries That Produce The Most Sugar

6. Mexico

Annual Raw Sugar Production: 6.18 million metric tons

Mexico is the world’s sixth-largest sugar producer and one of the largest sugar exporters. Its sugar industry supports around 2 million jobs directly and indirectly. The sector faced challenges because of sugar market volatility and low global sugar prices in recent years. However, Mexico’s sugar industry is expected to remain strong due to its high domestic consumption and the preferential access to the US market granted by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
