Market Review - On Tuesday evening, white sugar futures for the 2509 contract rose by 0.17% to close at 5868 yuan/ton [1] Fundamental Summary - The Indian Food Ministry announced a sugar sales quota of 2.25 million tons for domestic consumption starting from August 1, 2025, which is an increase of 50,000 tons year-on-year and month-on-month [2] - In the fourth week of July 2025, Brazil exported a total of 3.1757 million tons of white sugar, compared to 3.7823 million tons in July of the previous year. The average daily shipment was 167,100 tons, reflecting a 1.64% increase from 164,400 tons per day in July of last year [2] - S&P Commodity Insights analyst Bianca Guimaraes stated that the dry weather in July is expected to accelerate harvesting, boosting sugar production in the first half of the month, a trend anticipated to continue into the latter half [2] Institutional Perspectives - Southwest Futures noted that while Brazil's production is below expectations, both Thailand and India are expected to have a bumper crop. Domestic inventory is low, and import volumes remain high, suggesting a neutral valuation after short-term basis adjustments, recommending a wait-and-see approach. The strategy indicates a range-bound operation [3] - Green Dahan Futures highlighted that the recent rebound in Zheng sugar prices was primarily driven by basis recovery logic, supported by a high domestic sugar sales rate. However, the main constraint on sugar prices remains the pressure from large volumes of imported sugar arriving at ports. Recent attention should be paid to macroeconomic sentiment and the growth progress of Brazilian sugarcane, as well as changes in processing sugar prices in the spot market. The trading strategy suggests monitoring activity ranges of 5830-5900 for SR509 and 5680-5770 for SR601, with previous long positions held for observation or partial exit [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The downward trend of the external sugar market has slowed down, lingering at a low level, weakening the downward pressure on domestic prices. The domestic demand is in the peak season, boosting the center of the white sugar futures price to rise slightly during stable operation. However, the increase in imports and the expectation of loose global supply will limit the upside potential of prices. It is recommended to wait and see for now [2][3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the main white sugar futures contract was 5,845 yuan/ton, a decrease of 31 yuan; the position of the main contract was 324,831 lots, a decrease of 18,873 lots; the number of warehouse receipts was 20,150, a decrease of 492; the net long position of the top 20 futures positions was 800 lots; the effective warehouse receipt forecast was 0 [2] Spot Market - The estimated import processing price of Brazilian sugar within the quota was 4,458 yuan/ton, a decrease of 54 yuan; the estimated import price of Brazilian sugar outside the quota (50% tariff) was 5,662 yuan/ton, a decrease of 72 yuan; the estimated import processing price of Thai sugar within the quota was 4,509 yuan/ton, a decrease of 55 yuan; the estimated import price of Thai sugar outside the quota (50% tariff) was 5,729 yuan/ton; the spot price of white sugar in Kunming was 5,920 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan; the spot price in Nanning was 6,050 yuan/ton, unchanged; the spot price in Liuzhou was 6,120 yuan/ton, unchanged [2] Upstream Situation - The national sugar crop planting area was 1,480 thousand hectares, an increase of 60 thousand hectares; the planting area of sugar cane in Guangxi was 835.09 thousand hectares, a decrease of 12.86 thousand hectares; the national cumulative sugar production was 1,116.21 million tons, an increase of 5.49 million tons; the national cumulative sugar sales volume was 811.38 million tons, an increase of 86.92 million tons; the national industrial sugar inventory was 304.83 million tons, a decrease of 81.43 million tons; the national sugar sales rate was 72.69%, an increase of 7.47 percentage points; the monthly sugar import volume was 420,000 tons, an increase of 70,000 tons; the monthly total sugar exports from Brazil were 3.359 billion tons, an increase of 1.1024 billion tons [2] Industry Situation - The price difference between imported Brazilian sugar and the current price of Liuzhou sugar within the quota was 1,502 yuan/ton, an increase of 53 yuan; the price difference between imported Thai sugar and Liuzhou sugar within the quota was 1,451 yuan/ton, an increase of 54 yuan; the price difference between imported Brazilian sugar and Liuzhou sugar outside the quota (50% tariff) was 298 yuan/ton, an increase of 71 yuan; the price difference between imported Thai sugar and Liuzhou sugar outside the quota (50% tariff) was 231 yuan/ton, an increase of 70 yuan [2] Downstream Situation - The cumulative year-on-year growth rate of refined sugar production was 16.7%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points; the cumulative year-on-year growth rate of soft drink production was 2.9%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point [2] Option Market - The implied volatility of at-the-money call options for white sugar was 10.22%, a decrease of 0.26 percentage points; the implied volatility of at-the-money put options was 10.23%, a decrease of 0.16 percentage points; the 20-day historical volatility was 4.6%, an increase of 0.01 percentage points; the 60-day historical volatility was 6.95%, an increase of 0.01 percentage points [2] Industry News - According to the report of the Brazilian Sugarcane Technology Center, the average yield and quality of sugarcane in the central-southern region declined in June.

Core Viewpoint - Guangnong Sugar Industry is moving forward with its fundraising plan of up to 260 million yuan for logistics and working capital, despite doubts about the necessity of expansion given its low warehouse capacity utilization [1][2]. Fundraising and Utilization - The company plans to raise a maximum of 260 million yuan, with 194 million yuan allocated for the "Yunou Logistics Sugar Storage Intelligent Distribution Center Phase II Expansion Project" and 66 million yuan for working capital and bank loan repayment [2]. - Guangnong Sugar's self-owned warehouse capacity utilization is currently at 21.66%, down from 61.19%, indicating underutilization and raising questions about the need for further expansion [2][3]. Financial Health and Debt Levels - The company has a high debt ratio, consistently above 90%, projected to be 94.5% by 2024, with the fundraising expected to reduce it to 88.41%, which remains high [3][4]. - As of 2024, Guangnong Sugar has cash and cash equivalents of 761 million yuan against short-term interest-bearing liabilities of 2.56 billion yuan, resulting in a low cash-to-debt ratio of 0.3 [3][6].

Risks and Future Outlook - The logistics and warehousing business is highly sensitive to sugar price cycles, and any fluctuations could lead to renewed losses for Guangnong Sugar [7]. - The company has accumulated unremedied losses of 2.38 billion yuan, and if significant losses occur in the future, it may face the risk of negative net assets and potential delisting [7].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - International sugar market: Brazil's total sugar production may be adjusted downward due to lower yields and a historically high sugar - to - cane ratio. Asian producers, especially India, have optimistic production estimates. With potential increased sucrose use by Coca - Cola and PepsiCo and procurement demand from countries like Pakistan, the international sugar price is expected to fluctuate widely between 16 - 18 cents per pound [2][20]. - Domestic sugar market: The sales of domestic sugar are progressing ahead of schedule, imports have increased significantly, and processed sugar has been put on the market in large quantities with stable prices. The cost of some previously priced raw sugar is similar to that of domestic sugar, so the market pressure is limited. The domestic market has achieved a relay supply pattern between domestic and processed sugar. The upside of sugar prices later depends on consumption, with an expected operating range of 5700 - 6000 yuan per ton [2][20][22]. - Operation suggestion: Conduct band trading on Zhengzhou sugar futures [3][23]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - In July, Zhengzhou sugar futures trended higher with high basis and a shift from net short to net long positions in the main contracts, supported by fast sales and capital inflows. International sugar prices oscillated at low levels, rebounding after falling below 16 cents per pound but then being pressured by India's abundant supply expectations and dropping again [4]. 3.2 International Market Analysis - **Brazil**: In the second half of June, the sugar - to - cane ratio in South Brazil reached a record high of 53.15%, with a cumulative ratio of 51.02%, up 2.3 percentage points year - on - year. However, due to weather, the cane crushing volume was low. Considering the relatively low cane yield and sugar content and limited room for further increase in the sugar - to - cane ratio, Brazil's 2025/26 sugar production may be reduced [6]. - **India**: Ample rainfall has led to high expectations for a large sugar harvest in the 2025/26 season. The USDA predicts India's sugar production will reach 35 million tons. As of mid - July 2025, India's sugar exports were 65 - 70 million tons, and the ISMA expects 80 million tons by the end of August, with 20 million tons of the quota unexported. The sugar industry requests an extension of the export license to December 31. If the harvest is good, India could export 100 - 150 million tons in the new year [9]. 3.3 Domestic Market Analysis - **Sales progress**: In June, Guangxi sold 495.3 thousand tons of sugar, an increase of 77.3 thousand tons year - on - year, with an industrial inventory of 1.3244 million tons, a decrease of 330.8 thousand tons. Yunnan sold 195.3 thousand tons, a decrease of 66 thousand tons, with an industrial inventory of 667.6 thousand tons, an increase of 68.5 thousand tons. Some sugar mills in Guangxi have cleared their inventories, and the overall sales are ahead. Yunnan's inventory reduction is slower but is expected to improve in July [11][12]. - **Imports**: In June 2025, China imported 420 thousand tons of sugar, an increase of 390 thousand tons year - on - year, the highest in the past decade. From January to June 2025, the cumulative import was 1.04 million tons, a decrease of 260 thousand tons year - on - year. In the 2024/25 season, the cumulative import was 2.51 million tons, a decrease of 600 thousand tons. Brazil accounted for 76% of raw sugar imports in the first half of 2025, and about one million tons of imported sugar are expected later. In June, the total import of syrups and sugar - containing premixes under certain tax codes was 115.7 thousand tons, a decrease of 103.2 thousand tons year - on - year. The import of 1702 - item syrups is shrinking, but Thai - flavored syrups and premixes show signs of growth [15][18].
