US dollar Moscow wholesale price for sugar increased by $0.017 /kg (+2.96%), Krasnodar wholesale price increased by $0.014 /kg (+2.56%).
Last week, the growth of prices has stopped and since Monday, November 19, prices began to decrease. For now companies keep prices at the level of 37 rubles/kg but, apparently, they will be ready to give it at lower values (so-called “kolkhoz” sugar is offered somewhat cheaper). GG "Rusagro" began to offer sugar not only through the stock exchange but under the condition of fast pick-up, probably due to the overstocking of warehouses with the commodity.

According to Sugar.Ru railway monitoring data, in 22 days of November 2018 Russia imported 25.4.4 thousand tons of white sugar, the rate of imports is higher than in any other month in the last 4 years. Almost all sugar imported was from Belarus. Export of white sugar by rail continues to remain low in November, only 8.2 thousand tons, which is caused by high domestic prices for sugar. Transit rates of white sugar by the Russian railway continue to grow and amounted to 52.0 thousand tons in22 days of November, so we can expect about 70 thousand tons of transit for the month, which is much more than for any month in the past four years. Most of the transit volumes is provided by Ukraine - 41.5 thousand tons, of which 31.3 thousand tons to Uzbekistan.
