Abstract
In this paper, sugar’s production, consumption and trade status in China are reviewed systematically, and the background and reasons for the substantial increase in sugar import are analyzed. We found that the main reasons for China sugar industry’s weakness and low international competitiveness include inefficient production technology, low level of domestic support and protection, and high production cost. And now it is difficult to resist the dumping of foreign sugar with lower price, and China sugar industrial’s safety issue therefore has been highlighted. Based on the analysis and forecast of the gap between domestic sugar production and demand in 2020, we put forward policy options for further developing china’s sugar industry.
