Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The market sugar sources are diverse, the spot price is weakening, and the market will remain weak in the future. Attention should be paid to demand changes. The focus of the market has shifted to the pressure on prices brought by the increase in production in the Northern Hemisphere. The reduction of the sugarcane purchase price in Thailand has put pressure on the international raw sugar market. In the domestic market, although the import quota for this year is almost used up, the import cost continues to decrease, and domestic sugar producers are worried that low - priced processed sugar next year will seize the market share. There is competition in the market due to the accelerated sugar - cane pressing in Guangxi [2]. 3.
