The article discusses the potential impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the global sugar market. It highlights that Russia, which has been self-sufficient in sugar production since 2016, is now facing a shortage due to below-average harvests and depleted reserves, leading to price controls and import efforts. However, sanctions could affect sugar beet seed imports, potentially necessitating more sugar imports. The conflict and economic sanctions have also disrupted global sugar supply and led to an increase in world sugar prices. In Vietnam, the sugar industry is producing a substantial amount of sugar from pressed sugarcane, ensuring a sufficient supply for the near future. However, the industry continues to struggle with smuggled and fraudulent sugar from other countries, including Thailand.
