Raw sugar futures on ICE rose 0.8% to 18.36 cents per lb, heading for a small weekly gain after three weeks of declines. Arabica coffee gained 1.4% and robusta rose 1.4% from a 2.5-year low, while London cocoa gained 1.15%.
A drop in Brazil's centre-south sugar output supports prices, but weak demand is capping gains. Rising Brazilian coffee exports and climbing exchange stocks weigh on arabica, while El Niño concerns give cocoa some support.
