Vietnam Sugar Market – Government support keeps domestic sugar prices high

• As of August 2024, the global raw sugar price reached USD0.41/kg (-23.2% YoY), and is unlikely to resume its upward trend in 2024 due to a more balanced global supply-demand situation. This is largely attributed to the recovery of sugarcane production in Brazil, the world's largest sugar producer and exporter, during the 2023-24 crop season.
• Vietnam, a major sugar importer, has implemented several protective policies for its domestic sugar industry. Combined with an estimated 5% YoY increase in demand this year, these measures have kept domestic sugar prices high. As of August 2024, An Khe sugar factory's price stood at VND 20,000/kg (-3.8% YoY). With continued government support, we expect domestic sugar prices to remain relatively stable for the remainder of 2024 compared to the closing price in August.
• We note the correlation between domestic sugar price movements and the stock prices of sugar companies such as QNS is 92%. Therefore, we recommend investors monitor domestic sugar price fluctuations closely to make decisions regarding their short term and long term investments in sugar industry stocks.
