"Revitalising Myanmar's Sugar Industry & Downstream Industries"

"Global Oversupply - Counting on Asian Demand to Hold its Strength"

There are currently only 19 sugar mills in operation in Myanmar and a total of 30,000 tonnes of sugar is produced per day. Hardly sufficient for domestic consumption, Myanmar has plans to increase its sugarcane production and will send its team to Thailand to learn how to increase sugar output.

Myanmar study aims for sugar output
1 March 2013, The Myanmar Times

In 2012, Indonesia's raw sugar import was estimated to be at 2.5 million. Recent information released from the ministry reveals that Indonesia has cut its estimate for 2013 raw sugar imports by 13% to 2.27 million metric tonnes. Notwithstanding, Indonesia's booming food & drinks industry and increasing demand for sugar may make the country the world's top raw sugar importer.

Will China continue its stockpiling through 2013 to protect local farmers from the global market overflowing with supplies ?

Can Asia's increasing demand solve the problem of the global sugar surplus as the market faces a third successive global sugar surplus in 2012/13?

Meanwhile while sugar analysts have downgraded estimate of sugar output in Thailand, a drop of more than 1m tonnes in production compared to the 2011-12 result, many do not think this will have a material impact to offset what remains an otherwise oversupplied world sugar market. Can Thailand's cane production climb further or will natural limitations and competition for agricultural land impede expansion of Thailand's production ?

Last December, Brazil recorded a 2.454 million tonnes export, an all-time record for the month of December. Sugar prices remained resilient however as much of the Brazilian production went to local and US ethanol markets. Brazil's sugarcane ethanol industry continues to attract attention from companies in search of renewable feedstocks.
