受亚洲、俄罗斯金融危机的影响,世界糖业发展前景黯淡。由于东亚、东南亚、俄罗斯各国货币大幅贬值并提高关税,糖的进口量趋于下降。糖的供应则由于主产区(西欧、南美)产量增加而货源充足,价格自年初以来连续走低,虽间有反复,但总体的下滑趋势不变。 Affected by the financial crisis in Asia and Russia, the development prospect of the world’s sugar industry is bleak. Due to the sharp devaluation of currencies in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Russia, as well as higher tariffs, sugar imports tend to decline. The supply of sugar is due to the increase in production in the main producing areas (Western Europe and South America) and the supply is adequate. The price has been declining continuously since the beginning of the year. Although there have been repeated, the overall downward trend remains unchanged.
