1, sugar consumption is gradually increasing, while sugar production has been decreasing for three consecutive years, and supply shortage is the main reason for the increase of sugar;
2. The natural conditions in the main sugarcane producing areas are not good, mainly in Guangxi, Yunnan, Guangdong and other places. The land is barren, the water conservancy facilities are incomplete, and the ability to resist natural pests is poor. In recent years, abnormal climate always leads to reduced production;
3. Most of the profits from rising sugar prices are plundered by sugar factories and middlemen, and farmers can only get a little. Therefore, although sugar prices have soared (tripled in four years), farmers' enthusiasm for planting sugar cane is not high;
Although the price of sugar abroad has increased, it is only maintained at more than 4000 yuan at present, but the state restricts imports and imposes high tariffs and value-added tax, so even if you import through formal channels, there is not much profit;
At present, the cost of agricultural production is rising, such as manpower, fertilizer and pesticide. Are rising, making the production cost of sugarcane rise;
6. Don't talk about new energy. In the current situation of high sugar price, Brazil and other countries will not be stupid enough to produce alcohol with sugar, which is forced to choose when sugar 1000 yuan/ton.
Human factors:
1, the atmosphere of artificial speculation is particularly strong. The domestic sugar production is less than 1 1 10,000 tons, and the futures market has a margin of about 1000 yuan per ton. Theoretically, as long as10 billion yuan is used in the futures market, you can buy sugar all over the country, but at present, tens of billions of yuan are deposited in the futures market.
2. The country's inexplicably high taxes and the so-called quota system, ostensibly to protect the development of domestic related industries, are actually committing crimes. Sugar is the main raw material for food production, and 90% of sugar in China has entered the food processing industry. The rise in sugar prices directly leads to the rise in food prices, thus forming a chain reaction. The domestic CPI has soared, and the last unfortunate thing is the prestige of the people and the government. Inexplicable economic policies are always introduced, and inexplicable governments are always in place.
