Nothing happens on the market since the end of last year. Prices are standing still, there are almost no sales. Many market participants have not yet returned to Russia from the New Year holidays. Intrigue is introduced by the announced sale of sugar from the state reserve, volumes announced are in the range 1-10 thousand tons for a number of cities, we can expect about 50 thousand tons total (we will specify the figure in the nearest future). The timing of this sugar emerging at the market is not yet known, and the proposed sale schemes, let's say, are not entirely transparent.
