"Has become the focus of discussion among all parties, and the cost pressure of sugar based raw materials has increased dramatically.

Tianjin long Kang food company, as a food company which mainly produces candy and condiments, sugar occupies an important position in the cost.

"It's not going to go up now."

General manager Zhang Maoqiang admitted that the company started to rise in price in June this year, or about 5%.

But this is hard to offset the pressure from rising costs.

In fact, not just sugar, including edible oil, flour and rice, has also risen. Even plastic used for outer packaging has risen.

"Originally enterprises worried that the price increase would bring down the sales volume, and now we can not afford to worry about so much. It is imperative to raise prices."

At the October 30th China International sweet food and snack food fair, almost all the domestic exhibitors expressed their first pressure to sugar in the first financial daily.

Suzhou Ou Fu is one of the largest egg producers in China. Kentucky fried egg custard is the largest egg producer in the country. The main ingredient of the egg yolk is sugar and eggs, which account for 50% of the raw materials. But on the basis of the contract, KFC has repeatedly rejected the proposal put forward by the company.

Many enterprises, which are affected by the steep increase in costs, are rising in price or in the planned price increases.

Jacques, a candy maker, said: "this year, there have been three consecutive increases in price, and 10% increase each time. We are also planning to increase the price by 10% from next month."

The price rise of domestic food companies also seems to have an indirect impact on foreign enterprises.

An insider who is engaged in the import and export trade of confectionery products told the newspaper that the price of candy in the country has increased the price of imported candy indirectly because of the rising price of domestic candy. Many foreign enterprises have raised the price requirement to the enterprises on the basis of the rising price of domestic candy.

In addition to price increases, some enterprises are also trying to reduce costs. Dragon food company said that because of the rise in sugar prices, enterprises currently use glucose and protein sugar to replace 50% of sugar.

The cost per ton is reduced by 1300 yuan.

Because glucose is also rising in price, it is estimated that this method will not grow far.

Professor Zheng Jianxian, Professor of food science, South China University of Technology, said that there are mainly two kinds of sugar substitute in China, one is saccharin, the other is syrup, and the sweetness of saccharin is not uniform. Some foods are difficult to use.

Sugar raw materials are taken from sugar, sugar is rising and syrup is inevitable. So all the alternatives are temporary.

It is understood that China's main sugar producing areas are mainly Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places, as well as Heilongjiang, Xinjiang and other places.

Gao Shaochuan, senior engineer of candy Specialized Committee of China Food Industry Association, introduced the drought in Guangxi, the largest sugar producing area in the beginning of this year. Another sugar producing area in Yunnan continued to dry for three consecutive seasons, resulting in a large reduction in cane sugar production. The decline in sugar beet planting area in the north also led to a lot of sugar production in sugar beet.

In addition.

The weather anomalies in 7 and August this year affected the production of major sugar producing areas in the world.

Some idle funds have been used for speculation. Multiple factors have pushed up the price of sugar and even made new heights.

In order to ensure the market supply of sugar and stabilize sugar prices, the State Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Finance arranged the first batch of 210 thousand tons of 2010~2011 for the first time in October 22nd, but by the end of the month, the spot price of sugar still exceeded 7000 yuan per ton.

Benefiting from the rise in sugar prices, the share price of sugar listed companies has soared.

Nanning sugar industry (000911.SZ) and 000833.SZ (sugar share) have been trading several times since October.

According to the three quarterly bulletin of the latest sugar candy shares, the company's 1~9 month net profit was 68 million 368 thousand and 900 yuan, up 582.23% over the same period last year; the basic earnings per share were 0.23 yuan, up 666.67% over the same period last year.
