Analysts have cut their 2015/16 center-south Brazil sugar output

Analysts have cut their 2015/16 center-south Brazil sugar output and sugar content forecasts because of heavy rains in the fourth quarter, signaling tight availability in the inter-crop period between December and March. Data provider Platts Kingsman on Tuesday cut its cane production estimate for the 2015/16 (April/March crop year) to 594.0 million tonnes from its previous estimate of 599.1 million tonnes.
