Abstract
This report on the sugar market in China deals with the ongoing developments
as the market restructures. The report deals with both foreign companies in
the sector, local initiatives and production.
Despite price fluctuations due to the effects of altering world sugar prices
and local shortages the demand for sugar by Chinese consumers is steadily

refineries, most of which are currently recording losses.
