As the estimates of production and consumption remain unchanged, China’s sugar stocks are trending downwards. China has announced plans to auction national sugar reserves, which has not occurred since 2016. China’s MY 2023/24 sugar production is forecast to rebound to 10 MMT, assuming normal weather in both cane and beet production areas.
