The launch of the first plants in the Krasnodar region to operate on beet of a new crop has provoked a drop in wholesale prices for sugar. The offers reached 29.5 rubles per kilo for a lot of 200-300 tons. On Thursday, August 9, a number of companies made an attempt to raise prices: "Prodimex" officially raised them by 0.20 rubles per kilogram (up to 32.20 rubles per kilogram), "Dominant" reports that it does not give any more offsets from the price of 32 rubles/kg, however, the real sales prices for August 09 are about 28 rubles per kilo without VAT and 29.70-30.50 rubles per kilogram incl VAT. With the launch of all new plants, and if weather does not interfere, the price of sugar in the coming days is likely to fall or remain at current levels. A number of companies offer forward sugar for September at 29 rubles per kilo, however, mindful of last year, buyers do not yet venture to get involved in such an adventure.
