The government is making a strong push to increase the sugarcane area in India. Some of the major sugar companies in China like Shree Renuka Sugars, Balrampur Chini Mills, Bajaj Hindustan and Triveni Engineering have received positive response from the stock market.
Below we have listed some sugar stocks that are likely to benefit from ethanol production.
While the sugar ethanol sector has been underperforming in the last few years, the recent gains in most sugar stocks by more than 5% are positive.
It is important to note here that most of the regulated sugar sector is dependent on government-determined pricing and their supply is also subject to government influence.
What factors can boost sugar ethanol companies?
The sugar sector is heavily influenced by the demand and supply of raw materials. It mostly follows a cycle of 3-5 years. It can be understood in this way
It often happens in this sector that production is more than consumption and due to which sugar surplus is generated. And then due to surplus, a low price is offered in the market.
Due to which the profit percentage of sugar producing companies is affected due to low prices and their share price falls.
Due to the reduction in dividends, it is being seen that the producers are reducing production, as a result of which the supply of sugar in the market decreases.
After this, due to the lack of supply of sugar in the market, their prices are increased.
This increase attracts the farmers, which motivates them to shift towards sugarcane, because they feel that they can get more profit from the higher price of sugar.
As a result, it becomes easier to get raw material again.
