Sugar remains above EU reference price despite January dip

摘要

EU white sugar prices dipped slightly in January 2010 as the global market receded from its record highs in late 2009, but they remained well above the EU reference level, according to price data submitted to the European Commission by member states (figure 1).rnThe figures - published at the EU sugar management committee meeting in late April -put the average EU sugar price in January at €479 per tonne, down from €495/t in December 2009.
