China Sugar Market Overview
China is among the world's top sugar importers, supplementing domestic cane and beet production to meet demand from food and beverage industries. Imports operate under a TRQ system administered by MOFCOM, with in-quota volumes paying 15% duty. State-owned refiners and large private importers hold most allocations, while specialty and organic grades trade outside quota.
Thailand exports significant volumes of raw and refined sugar to China under the ASEAN-China FTA Form E framework, particularly to licensed state and private refineries.
