Supply - side Factors - Brazil's central - southern region: In the second half of April, the sugarcane crushing volume increased year - on - year, and the sugar - making ratio remained high. The expected sugar production in the 25/26 crushing season may reach 42 million tons, strengthening the pattern of loose global supply [4]. - Imports: The earlier drop of ICE raw sugar below 18 cents/pound triggered domestic sugar purchases. The near - month purchase volume exceeded one million tons, and imported sugar is expected to arrive at ports from mid - to - late June, increasing supply pressure in the third quarter. The out - of - quota import cost from Brazil dropped to 5980 yuan/ton, and the price difference with domestic spot prices narrowed to 150 yuan/ton, stimulating subsequent purchases [4]. - Substitutes: From January to March, the import of syrups and premixes was 242,000 tons (equivalent to about 156,000 tons of sugar), and low - cost substitutes continued to squeeze the consumption space of domestic - produced sugar [4].
