According to incomplete statistics as of now, in the 22/23 sugarcane crushing season, 25 factories in Guangxi have stopped crushing, an increase of 21 compared to the same period last year: 48 sugar factories have not stopped crushing, with a daily capacity of about 370,000 tons. In the 21/22 crushing season, the total amount of sugarcane crushed in Chongz was 19.47 million tons. Based on the time of sugar factory shutdown and the production progress as of now, it is expected that the final daily sugarcane volume in the 22/23 crushing season will be around 16 million tons, a decrease of 300-350 million tons compared to the period last year. On February 19, Ruili Sugar Factory successfully stopped crushing, becoming the first sugar factory in Yunnan to stop crushing in the 22/3 crushing season, 39 days ahead of the previous season. From the current understanding, it is expected that there will be 1-2 sugar factories in Yunnan early March, but considering that the rainy season is about to arrive, it may affect the cutting and transportation of sugarcane, and the time of sugar factory shutdown may change.
According to foreign media reports, due to the weather conditions in the main producing areas, the early maturity of sugarcane and the decrease in weight may lead to a lower level sugar production than previously estimated. The decrease in sugar production may prevent this country, the world's largest exporter, from increasing exports, thereby supporting global prices and helping competing such as Brazil and Thailand to increase exports. According to the data of the previous purpose of the Lueyi agency, it is expected that India will produce 34 million to34.3 million tons of sugar in the 2022/23 fiscal year, lower than 35.8 million tons in the previous fiscal year. On 1, 2023, Thailand exported 698,400 tons of sugar, an increase of 20.39% year-onyear, including 400,400 tons of raw sugar, an increase of 23.89%; about 39,100 tons of-quality white sugar, an increase of 3.84%; and 258,800 tons of refined sugar, an increase of 18.06 year-on-year. As of the end of January, Thailand has exported 1.79 million tons of sugar in the 2022/23 crushing, an increase of 2.62% year-on-year.
With the continuous improvement of the expected sugar price, the cost pressure of sugar shops and production is increasing, reducing labor costs and increasing the added value of products is a question related to the survival of the enterprise.
