London - The world sugar price has risen above the European Union (EU) price, making the European market less attractive and other markets more appealing for South Africa-based producer Illovo Sugar [JSE:ILV], a senior executive said on Wednesday.

"The EU floor price is no longer appropriate or attractive," he added, referring to the bloc's floor price for sugar sold by developing nations to the EU.
"The stronger world price is making other markets more attractive than the European market at the moment."
Clark also voiced concerns about the weak euro, which he said reduced the attractiveness of the EU as a market.
