Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The international raw sugar price is in a low - level oscillation. Asian major sugar - producing countries have a good production outlook with a loose global supply expectation, but there are concerns about the sugar content of Brazilian sugarcane in the 2025/26 season and signs of improved demand. In the domestic market, the profit window for out - of - quota imports is open, with a significant increase in sugar imports in July, which is the highest in the same period in the past decade, and the peak period will last until August and September. Beet sugar will start to be squeezed in September, increasing the supply. The demand is expected to increase due to the upcoming Double - Festival stocking. The inventory pressure of domestic sugar is not large currently, but the de - stocking process has slowed down. The new - season production is expected to be at a high level in the past four years. Overall, the domestic sugar price is supported by the Double - Festival stocking expectation and low inventory pressure, showing a pattern of strong domestic and weak foreign markets. However, factors such as increased imports, upcoming northern sugar mill openings, and high new - season production expectations will limit the upward space of the price. The operation suggestion is to wait and see [2]. 3.
