According to data from the European Commission, the average price of white sugar in the EU in October 2023 was 841 euros/ton, an increase of approximately 3 percent compared to the previous month. The European Union cannot publish the processing price of white sugar per member country for data protection reasons, so it forms three regional average prices from the data reported by the member countries and makes them public. In October, the average price of region 1 (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Slovakia) was 805 euros/ton, about 3 percent higher than the previous month. The average price of the dominant producing countries belonging to region 2 (France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium) was 841 euros/ton, an increase of 3 percent in the observed period. Region 3, which includes the southern countries, Bulgaria, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Romania, reached the highest average price of 914 euros/ton, which was 1 percent less than the previous month.
