Sugar is a strategic commodity whose consumption continues to increase from year to year to keep up with the population growth, the increase in per capita consumption and the expansion of the sugar industry itself. Therefore, the government must pay attention to the development of this industry. Sugar consumption continues to increase from year to year, and stronger growth has been noted in refined sugar consumption. Higher growth in refined sugar consumption has been driven by competition in the market.

The continued expansion of the food and beverage industry has boosted the demand for sugar in the country. Sugar consumption is expected to continue to increase in the coming years.
The COVID-19 outbreak has driven people to stockpile food, including sugar. Thus, sugar stocks have thinned and its purchase has been restricted. At present, due to this outbreak, Scarcity is causing sugar prices to soar, consequently the government has had to take measures to address this sooner or later

No planned divestment of MSM stake, says FGV

KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 28): FGV Holdings Bhd is not in a rush to divest its stake in MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd, as conditions have been improving in the sugar industry, the plantation group said.

FGV group chief executive officer Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan said sugar prices have improved and that MSM is no longer tied to the long-term sugar supply agreement, which ended in December last year.

"These days, the situation surrounding the sugar industry is getting better. Prices are going up — it's currently at 14 US cents per pound now. One of the issues that was affecting MSM was the long-term sugar supply agreement, which has ended.

"There is no real urgency in terms of getting a partner or divesting our stake in MSM," he told the press today during a briefing on the group's financial performance for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2019 (FY19).

However, MSM still has to address the issue of overcapacity, said Haris, adding the company will look into rationalising its production capacity.

MSM CEO Datuk Khairil Anuar Aziz, who was also present during the briefing, said the supply of raw sugar is trending downwards and expects prices to range between 13 and 15 US cents this year.

While overcapacity is an issue, he highlighted that MSM has been receiving overseas enquiries.

"We have 2.25 million metric tonnes of capacity, which exceeds the 1.6 million metric tonnes of Malaysian demand. However, I would like to emphasise that we are getting enquiries now, which is positive for MSM," he said.

FGV CEO Haris said the group has been approached by parties, adding it is still in talks with a party from China regarding the offtake of some of the supply from MSM Johor.

Last November, he said FGV was in talks to export 700,000 tonnes of sugar out of the Johor refinery, which commenced operations in April last year.

MSM’s margin to improve on higher selling price of refined sugars (white sugar)

May Future white sugar rose $10.60, or 3.2%, to $339.00 a tonne.

JAKARTA: Indonesia has issued import permits for 150,000 tonnes of white sugar, Musdhalifah Machmud, a deputy minister at the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs told Reuters on Wednesday.

The government has appointed state companies Bulog, Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (RNI) and Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia to each import 50,000 tonnes of sugar, Machmud said.

“White sugar stock in the market is thinning, so we need to take quick steps to handle this," she said, adding that Indonesia typically requires 220,000 tonnes of white sugar per month.

The government has pledged to ease import rules for certain foods during the coronavirus outbreak to ensure the country has enough food.

She said the government expects the sugar shipments to arrive before the end of June, when the milling season is expected to start.

RNI plans to open the tender for the sugar purchases next week, CEO Eko Taufik Wibowo told Reuters.

“Maybe we'll have the auction next week for arrival around 2-3 weeks after the import documents and auction are finished," he said.

The World Is Running Short of Sugar. Here's Why Prices Are Likely to Rise Even More

Global sugar market shortage presents opportunity for MSM

KUALA LUMPUR: The global sugar market is facing its largest supply shortage in five years, allowing MSM Holdings Bhd to bolster its exports.

MIDF Research said the anticipated supply tightness of sugar in 2020, which is mainly driven by lower global sugar production, especially from India, has lifted the commodity’s global price.

This is evident from the increase in average raw Sugar No.11 Futures (NY11) to above US$13 per pound in the beginning of 2020 as compared to the range of between US$10 and US$12per pound in second half of 2019.

It said currently, the NY11 price is trading at about two-year highs and the market expects prices to stay between US$14 and US$15 per pound until end of the second quarter of 2020.

“Premised on this, we expect MSM’s profit margin to be improving gradually through higher average selling price (ASP) of its refined sugars as white-sugar prices have risen further than raw-sugar prices in the rally,” it said.

MIDF said currently, the group is in the midst of negotiating a new wholesale business model that could fetch a higher pricing for its refined sugars which is expected to have a gain of RM25 million a year.

“We also understand that the Malaysian government has not been issuing any import permit (AP). We view that the current market price of above US$13 per pound would discourage manufacturers to procure directly from abroad.

“Thus, we opine that this phenomenon could increase MSM’s bargaining power in the domestic market where it derives approximately 90 per cent of its revenue through higher pricing and sales volume,” it said.

MIDF said the recovery of the global raw sugar price amidst a global sugar deficit has given the group a breather as both the lower sugar stock levels at key markets and that the current premium white sugar prices have over raw sugar price are expected to bode well with the group.

“As a result, we believe that the group should be able to capitalise on this opportunity to improve its earnings prospects through higher ASP of its refined sugar and sales volume.

“Coupled with no sight of new AP issued to local manufacturers and increasing global raw sugar prices, this could increase the bargaining power of the group to negotiate a better pricing in its home market.

“This is attributable to the economies of scale and operational capabilities of the group that could provide the local manufacturers to obtain refined sugars at lower cost than directly procure from the global raw sugar market at current prices.

“However, we opine that the global raw sugar price would remain stable at this juncture and is highly dependent on the Indian inventory level which is still in surplus from previous two high production season and the relative prices of ethanol in Brazil,” it said.

MIDF has upgraded its recommendation on MSM to “neutral” from previously “sell” with a target price of 81 sen from 70 sen previously.

The Southeast Asian nation said it aims to import about 1.4 million tons of raw sugar, or 1.33 million tons of the refined variety, for household use this year and in early 2021.

Sugar: Supply Deficit Will Continue in 2020
January 22, 2020 | Sugar, Sugar Beet, Sugarcane
Sugar prices in the world market have been unstable. In 2020, the raw sugar price has climbed by 8.1% since January 2nd, according to ISO data. This price surge was mainly attributed to the prospective supply decline within major producers.

Sugar prices are at an all-time high due to worldwide deficits during the 2019/2020 season. Indian production estimates for 2020/2021 are optimistic and could potentially fill in for importers that have been dependent on Brazil and Thailand.
