Market Analysis - Important Information: In Yunnan Province, as of February 28, 2026, 52 sugar mills were in operation (the same as last year). The total amount of sugarcane crushed was 12.0182 million tons (compared to 10.9847 million tons in the same period of the previous season), sugar production was 1.4934 million tons (compared to 1.4003 million tons in the same period of the previous season), the sugar production rate was 12.43% (compared to 12.75% in the same period of the previous season), and the cumulative sales of new sugar were 697,500 tons (compared to 722,500 tons last year). In Xinjiang, the 2025/2026 sugar production season ended with a sugar output of 796,000 tons, a decrease of 18,200 tons compared to the 2024/2025 season. In Guangxi, as of March 3, 2026, 3 sugar mills had completed the crushing process, 44 less than the same period last year, and the capacity of the completed mills was 14,000 tons, 390,500 tons less than the same period last year [5][6] - Logical Analysis: Internationally, the sugar production increase in India and Thailand this season is likely to be less than market expectations. The International Sugar Organization (ISO) has revised down the global sugar production forecast for the 2025/2026 season to 181.29 million tons and the surplus to 1.22 million tons. Considering the start of the new Brazilian sugar - crushing season in April and May, there will be greater supply pressure, so international sugar prices are expected to oscillate at the bottom. Domestically, the sugar - crushing season is at its peak, and domestic sugar production is likely to increase significantly, resulting in supply pressure. However, considering the low sugar prices and the possible tightening of import policies, sugar prices are expected to be influenced by both long and short factors, with a general trend of bottom - level oscillation. In the short - term, due to the sharp rise in crude oil prices, domestic sugar prices are expected to oscillate slightly stronger [8] 3. Trading Strategies - Single - side Trading: International sugar prices are likely to oscillate within a range. Zhengzhou sugar prices may show a slightly stronger short - term trend, and it is recommended to buy at low prices and sell at high prices [9] - Arbitrage: Wait and see [10] - Options: Sell put options in the short - term [11] 4.
