Background
ACP / EU Sugar Protocol Quota: 165k tonnes (1973 – 2009) Guaranteed Prices / Guaranteed Market Economic Partnership Agreement (October 2009 onwards)
Current Situation
EPA: Duty-free, quota-free market access – all sugar MFN bulk raw sugar import duty €339, plus special safeguard White sugar prices currently €711 (May ‘12) Strong demand for raw sugar / refining margin limited
Outlook
EU market changing – Preference erosion continues Uncertain implications of proposed removal of production quotas
EU Preferential Market Access
![Page 16: ‘Market Opportunities & Challenges’ (Trade Perspective) · Over 50 years cooperation with Fiji sugar industry Support for Fiji Sugar Corporation & Cane growers The Role of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041715/5e4aae854c5f7b7224038e57/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Background
Duty free access for raw sugar for refining, within annual quota Fiji one of 40 beneficiary GSP countries: 1.1m tonnes
Current Situation
Quota: 9,477 tonnes No.16 prices: ~28/29 c/lb White sugar prices: ~50 c/lb Large refining premium
Outlook
Farm Bill currently under review Limited change to sugar programme envisaged
USA Preferential Market Access
![Page 17: ‘Market Opportunities & Challenges’ (Trade Perspective) · Over 50 years cooperation with Fiji sugar industry Support for Fiji Sugar Corporation & Cane growers The Role of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041715/5e4aae854c5f7b7224038e57/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Background
Asian markets of historic importance to Fiji industry Destination refineries – Japan and other regional refiners ~50% of total export during the 1990’s
Current Situation
Deficit trade balance – Strong regional price premiums Supported by high world market prices of late
Outlook
Regional premium supported by strong global freight rates Strong regional consumption growth
Regional Market Opportunities
![Page 18: ‘Market Opportunities & Challenges’ (Trade Perspective) · Over 50 years cooperation with Fiji sugar industry Support for Fiji Sugar Corporation & Cane growers The Role of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041715/5e4aae854c5f7b7224038e57/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Looking Ahead
![Page 19: ‘Market Opportunities & Challenges’ (Trade Perspective) · Over 50 years cooperation with Fiji sugar industry Support for Fiji Sugar Corporation & Cane growers The Role of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041715/5e4aae854c5f7b7224038e57/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
World & Regional Market Outlook
Opportunities
Strong global growth in demand Production expansion potential limited – especially in Asia Domestic policy favouring destination refining i.e. raw sugar
Challenges
Price volatility Increasing global freight rates
Summary
Good opportunities for when Fiji production rebounds
![Page 20: ‘Market Opportunities & Challenges’ (Trade Perspective) · Over 50 years cooperation with Fiji sugar industry Support for Fiji Sugar Corporation & Cane growers The Role of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041715/5e4aae854c5f7b7224038e57/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
EU
Current market conditions favourable for raw sugar Outlook less certain, given forthcoming policy change
USA
Price & quantity limited Stable policy environment
Outlook: Opportunities & Challenges
On going market access – supported by high MFN import duties Preference erosion Changing EU policy environment – commercial implications
Preferential Market Outlook
![Page 21: ‘Market Opportunities & Challenges’ (Trade Perspective) · Over 50 years cooperation with Fiji sugar industry Support for Fiji Sugar Corporation & Cane growers The Role of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041715/5e4aae854c5f7b7224038e57/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Opportunities
Strong production potential Strong demand for sugar: Preferential & regional markets Geographical position for Asian markets
Challenges
Price volatility: World market & increasingly EU Logistics for preferential markets Need to optimise logistics & terminal/loading facilities EU policy direction - implications for EU refining sector Diversify revenue flows: sugar & sugar products
Summary
Huge opportunities – need for industry to position itself
Industry: Opportunities & Challenges
