31 Jan 2016

(MENAFN) Dubai’s Al-Khaleej Sugar Refinery, the world’s main port-based refinery, was operating at only 70 percent of its capability due to slow physical demand for white sugar.

Furthermore, the whites-over-raws premium recorded over USD 110 per ton in the international market, trailed by strong import demand by China.

Additionally, the Al-Khaleej refinery has capacity of 7,000 tons a day but its underutilized as export prospects are weak, while it’s entering 2016 with more uncertainty.

Al-Khaleej exported 500,000 tons of white sugar to Iraq in 2014, whereas Iraq would stop imports or sophisticated sugar for a government food distribution program.
