I am also long the Sugar futures curve - I think it is the diesel that is what will make the trade work and panic the shorts.
Algos & bots trade the gasoline / ethanol ratio (ethanol 70% energy density of gasoline) not programmed to wonder what happens in a diesel shortage.
Diesel cuts the sugar cane and trucks it to the crushing plants and trucks ethanol to the gas stations and sugar to export.
Diesel trucks all food around Brazil and in a shortage the sensible thing is to ration diesel for the domestic delivery use first - sugar can sit in warehouses and wait until this crisis is over. Add that it is financial speculators who are short sugar seeing years of surplus - Brazil can pay for importing and re-routing diesel on the back of HF losses on the sugar shorts - the farmers are who will benefit from higher prices.
Where fuel (and thus sugar) goes may not be set by financiers but by politicians in an election year w/ the population in agreement
Just my working hypothesis on how the front delivery contracts can go to backwardation in a Brazil of surplus came
