Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The international sugar market is expected to be weak with oscillations. The global sugar market in the 25/26 season is predicted to have a restorative increase in production, and the market is bearish in the long - term. The accelerated crushing progress in central - southern Brazil and the expected significant increase in India's sugar production will lead to a weakening trend in New York raw sugar [3][29]. - The domestic sugar market faces a situation of weak reality. Although the domestic sugar production in the 25/26 season is expected to increase steadily, the decline in the sugar yield rate in Guangxi will likely raise production costs. Zhengzhou sugar follows the trend of raw sugar, and trading revolves around the import rhythm. Attention should be paid to changes in import policies [3][29]. Summary by Directory 1.
