Thailand Sugar Production Statistics (2006-2026): OCSB Official Trends

Understanding the supply dynamics of Thailand, the world’s second-largest sugar exporter, is crucial for global trade analysis. If you are looking for the most accurate Thailand sugar production statistics, our latest tracking—based on direct reports from the Office of the Cane and Sugar Board (OCSB)—provides the most up-to-date insights for the 2025/26 season.

2025/26 Season: Exceptional Recovery & Extended Crushing

As of April 1, 2026, the Thai sugar industry is witnessing an unusually robust and extended crushing season. Our direct verification with the OCSB reveals a stark year-on-year contrast: 24 sugar mills remain operational, compared to only 3 mills during the same period last year.

This extended window, combined with superior climate conditions, has propelled production figures well beyond initial market consensus:

Sugarcane Crushed: 103 million tons (+12.0% YoY)
Cumulative Sugar Production: 11.62 million metric tons (+15.7% YoY)
Average Sugar Recovery Rate: 11.27% (significantly higher than the 10.92% recorded last year)

With 24 mills still active, the final output for the 2025/26 season is poised to be one of the strongest in recent years, positioning Thailand as a primary stabilizing force in the global sugar market.

Analysis of Thailand Sugar Production Statistics (2006-2026)

Looking at the historical trajectory, the current recovery marks a significant exit from the production “valleys” caused by previous El Niño cycles:

The Golden Peak (2017/18): Thailand reached its historical benchmark of 14.71 MMT.
Historical Lows: The 4.80 MMT and 8.27 MMT seasons (2005/06 and 2019/20) serve as a reminder of Thailand’s high sensitivity to drought.
2026 Momentum: The leap to 11.62 MMT by April 2026 confirms that the 2025/26 season is not just a recovery, but a return to high-output status, exceeding early estimates by nearly 1.5 MMT.

Data Methodology and Notes

Source: All Thailand sugar production statistics are sourced from official OCSB summaries and the OCSM Online monitoring system.
Measurement: Figures represent “Tel Quel” weight (actual physical weight) across all sugar grades (Raw, White, and Refined).
Status: Preliminary data as of April 1, 2026. Final year-end reconciliation is expected in Q2 2026.
