RUSSIA
According to evaluation by Sugar.Ru, the proposal of the Ministry on Development of Eastern Regions on the construction of a sugar factory in Khabarovsk region is devoid of economic justification. The level of self-own sugar beet leaves no room for production of significant volumes of sugar from raw sugar, which may be demanded by the market. Sugar produced from raws has a higher production cost, as compared with the beet sugar. Given the strategic policy of Russia aimed for substitution of imports, the idea to achieve benefits for the enterprise, which will process imported raw materials and produce commodity as opposed to the national product, is not realistic.
