Report Overview - Report Name: Sugar Industry Weekly Report - Report Date: August 24, 2025 - Author: Xu Liang (Z0002220) - Reviewer: Tang Yun (Z0002422) 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The domestic sugar market has shown a strong trend recently, trading on the low carry - over inventory of domestic sugar and the expected reduction in production in Guangxi in the new crushing season. The market is less responsive to the increase in imported sugar and syrup in July. The downward pressure on the market is insufficient, and it may trade on the reduction in production in Brazil and the lower - than - expected production in India and Thailand in the future. In the short term, SR2601 shows strong momentum and may have a significant - scale market trend [4]. 3. Summary by Directory Market Information Domestic Market - Spot quotes: The platform quote of intermediaries in Nanning is 6,000 yuan/ton, and the quote of intermediaries in Kunming is 5,770 - 5,940 yuan/ton. In July, China imported 744,300 tons of sugar, a month - on - month increase of 75.29% and a year - on - year increase of 76.44%, with 644,400 tons from Brazil. In July, China imported 159,700 tons of syrup and premixed powder, a year - on - year decrease of 68,600 tons but a continued month - on - month increase, reaching a new high for the year [3]. International Market - The price of Zhengzhou sugar futures has maintained a volatile and slightly stronger pattern. In Brazil, due to continuous drought, the sugar content of sugarcane is at a historically low level, and the sugar - making ratio remains high because the ethanol - to - sugar price ratio is low. In India, although local sources expect a significant increase in production, meteorological monitoring shows that the cumulative rainfall in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is low, and the final production may be lower than expected [4].
