China's sugar industry had performed violent fluctuations last year, and therefore was under the spotlight of domestic commodity market. "An Industry Research White Paper - China Sugar Industry Annual Outlook for 2010 and Beyond" (hereinafter referred to as the White Paper) offers comprehensive and in-depth analysis on problems and plights that China's sugar market is facing, based on considerable quantities of survey and model simulation. It will be of great help to enterprises' operation, management and investment decisions.

Key points covered in the White Paper include:

- Cultivation of sugar cane and beet in China in 2010; forecast of sugar output in 2010/2011 crop year

- Analysis and forecast of sugar price trends on spot and futures market, 2010/2011, using economic model simulation

- In-depth research of this international sugar bull market; how can China use it for reference

- Consumption of the down-stream sugar industry; current and future demand for sugar by food and beverage industry

- Analysis and forecast on international sugar price trends in 2010/2011, using economic model simulation

- Theory and practice of hedging for sugar companies: case studies in 2009/2010 crop year

- Sugar purchases and sales policies by the state reserve: the influence on sugar price; quantitative analysis

- Sugar is not demon: survival strategies on sugar futures market

- Association between China's and international sugar market trends

- Financial attribute of sugar: analysis and forecast of CTA's influence on sugar price

Major research results of the White Paper:

- Based on comprehensive analysis, we believe that the average sugar price in China in 2010/2011 would be RMB 4890/ton, and that the price will fall below RMB 4890 /ton, maybe even lower than RMB 4000/ton.

- The sugar price in China will increase 4.92% in every ton of sugar that Chinese State Reserve Bureau (CSRB) purchases. According to historical datas, CSRB is supposed to purchase when the sugar price goes below RMB 4000/ton in 2010/2011 for the purpose of regulating the sugar price. State reserved sugar might depend on imports.

- According to periodicity, the sugar production in China is likely to increase in 2010/2011, topping about 12.5 million tons, up more than 10%.

- International average sugar price is 11.76 cent/pound in 2010/2011 crop year, and the model predicts that sugar price will fall below 12 cent/pound.

- Sugar manufacturers should be aware of cyclical fluctuations of the sugar industry and lock in profits through hedging, selecting the hedging point scientifically instead of impulsively.

- Chinese sugar manufacturers are ranked based on three main indicators, i.e. productivity, profitability, social forces, and six other indicators, i.e. capacity, output, total revenue, total profits, brand and benefits for peasants.

As an in-depth special research report of the sugar industry, the White Paper is the fruit of hard work and intelligence of many experts, put forward by Bric Global Agricultural Consultants Ltd., Beijing and Huachu.com of China Merchandise Reserve Management Center (CMRMC). The White Paper is based on critical issues of much concern within the sugar industry, referring to domestic and international condition, historical and current issues, production and trade, export and import, production and consumption, situation now and in the future. Theories and practices are closely combined, as well as demonstration and deduction. According to authorized datas and statistics and models, the White Paper puts forward and demonstrates many issues, conducts analysis and makes forecast of the sugar industry. The 2009's White Paper earned high reputation after published, whose forecast results were proved by the market afterwards. The White Paper of 2010 is expected to achieve more.

Major research results and viewpoints of the 2009 Sugar White Paper (Released on May 16th, 2009)

- Based on comprehensive analysis, we believe that the price of sugar will rise to over RMB4700/ton in 2009/10.

- The sugar price in China will increase 4.92% in every ton of sugar that Chinese State Reserve Bureau (CSRB) purchases. According to historical datas, the state-reserved sugar would be sold above the level of RMB4700/ton in 2009/10 (after the price of sugar reaches more than RMB4700/ton).

- According to periodicity, the sugar production in China is likely to decline in 2009/10, coming to about 11 million tons.

- The sugar consumption for industry use took 70% of the total sugar consumption in 2007/08, while that for private use took 30%. Beverage, candy and bakery are three major consumers, counting for 66% of the sugar consumption for industry use. The model predicted that China's food and beverage industry would continue to develop at the rate of 20% in 2009.

Review: Forecast of market trends of the sugar industry, 2008-2010

- On the first sugar forum of 30 in September, 2008, we predicted that the average sugar price would be RMB 4000/ton in 2008/2010 crop year, and that the sugar price would surpass RMB 4000/ton.

- On the press release of the sugar white paper on May 16th, 2009, we predicted that the average sugar price would be RMB 4700/ton in 2009/2010 crop year, and that the sugar price would surpass RMB 5000/ton. We forecast that the total sugar output of China would be about 11 million tons in 2009/2010 crop year. The state reserve would sell sugar when the price goes above RMB 4700/ton.

- On the second sugar forum of 30 on August 31st, 2009, we held that the sugar price was not likely to top the 2006 level, based on the storage-consumption ratio.

- In September, 2009, we put forward that sugar manufacturers should sell hedge on the futures market with the price escalation to above RMB 4700/ton.

- Bric warned at October 18th, 2009 that people could buy a dip within 2-3 weeks and lock in gains when the third week started. The expansion in the futures market would be more than RMB 250/ton.

- On December 31st, 2009, Bric held that there existed high risk in the sugar price. Companies should definitely hedge in batches when the price goes above RMB?5700/ton. If not, they would regret, because the sugar price was about to go below RMB 4000/ton.

- On February 10th, 2010, three factors on the sugar market are favourable for the decline of stock price: Brazil's early crushing might lead to an international price drop to below 20 cents; there might be adjustment in macro-economy; the state reserve might sell sugar again after the Spring Festival.

- In March, 2010, the sugar price might rebound. Therefore, selling hedge was not recommended.
