Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for sugar is "sideways" [1]. - The investment rating for cotton is "sideways" [1]. Core Viewpoints - For sugar, due to the significant economic benefits of sugar crop cultivation, along with positive support from national policies and sugar - making enterprises, farmers' planting enthusiasm has increased, leading to a steady growth in sugar crop planting area. However, early drought in Guangxi affected the emergence of ratoon sugarcane and the planting of new sugarcane, limiting the growth of sugar production.

Short - term strategy is to wait and see [1]. - For cotton, Xinjiang's cotton target price subsidy policy remains stable, and cotton farmers' planting enthusiasm is high, with a slight increase in planting area. Inland cotton areas have seen a continuous decline in planting area due to low comparative benefits and difficulties in mechanization promotion. During the sowing and emergence period, the climate in major producing areas was favorable, and the expected yield per hectare is 2,172 kg (144.8 kg per mu), the same as last year. Total cotton production is expected to be 6.25 million tons, a 1.4% increase from last year.
