ANALYSIS ON FACTORS THAT WILL SHAPE THE MARKET OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS (2019-2023)

Price volatility in food ingredients is very difficult to manage.

To forecast prices for raw and refined sugar and formulate a risk management strategy in the next three to five years, key questions that must be considered include:

• What major elements could impact prices?
• Will the deteriorating public image of nutritive sweeteners continue to pressure demand?
• Will consumers favor sugar substitutes, and how cost competitive are these with sugar?
• Will there be changes to government policies such as the Farm Bill, NAFTA and other trade agreements,
  and the Suspension Agreements on trade of sugar with Mexico?
• Will concerns surrounding the labeling of sugar from genetically modified beets discourage the use of
  this ingredient or this technology?
• Will supplier consolidation or other structural industry changes occur?

Ultimately, sugar users must know how changes in the market landscape guide price direction for both the #16 raw sugar and white refined sugar markets. If you must have an understanding of these issues, our study makes your job easier.
