Indian Sugar Industry, analysis research report

By ChinaCCM Dated: Aug 17, 2010

Indian sugar industry has entered the strongest up cycle (lowest stock to use ratio) in the history of 50 years after witnessing supply glut in previous two sugar seasons in a row (SS 2006-08)...... Summary Indian sugar industry has entered the strongest up cycle (lowest stock to use ratio) in the history of 50 years after witnessing supply glut in previous two sugar seasons in a row (SS 2006-08). In SS2006-07, sugar production reached all-time high of 28.3 mn tonnes, registering a growth of 46.6% on yoy basis and it declined marginally by 7.1% to 26.3 mn tonnes in SS2007-08. Sugar production reached an all-time low of 14.7 mn tonnes during SS2008-09 due to sharp fall in the sugarcane acreage. However, sugar consumption continued to grow at a steady pace. It grew at a CAGR of 4% during SS 07-09. In SS2008-09, on account of a steep fall in sugar production and fall in the stock to use ratio, the average wholesale prices increased by almost 50% on yoy basis. This had a positive impact on the margins of sugar companies in the Q4FY09. The production of sugar is spread across the country. Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh are the major sugar producing states in the country. In SS2007-08, these six states together accounted for almost 92% of the total sugar produced in India. In SS2007-08, the State of Maharashtra produced the highest sugar at 9.1 mn tonnes followed by UP with 7.3 mn tonnes. These two states together account for almost 62% of the total sugar produced in India. Sugarcane is the primary raw material for the sugar industry. It accounts for almost 75%-80% the total operating cost of the sugar industry. UP is the largest sugarcane-producing state in the country and accounted for about 37% of the total sugarcane output in SS 2007-08 followed by Maharashtra with 24%. Even though, UP is the largest sugarcane-producing state in the country it is the second-largest sugar producer in India as drawal and recovery rates in UP are one of the lowest in India. We expect sugar deficit situation in India to continue in SS2009-10 and SS2010-11. We believe that India will bridge the gap between demand and supply through imports. We expect that sugar prices will continue to rise till SS2009-10 on account of tight demand and supply situation in country. Table of Contents Executive Summary Outlook Introduction ?
