Pilot bids set for sugar imports

Sugar prices high despite imports |
Viet Nam will import 85,000 tonnes of sugar under a tariff rate quota this year. |
Businesses and traders considered this good news because they can join the bidding, which facilitates fair competition.
According to a ministry circular on the principles of managing the import tariff quota for sugar this year, bidders would include traders that supply sugar as an input in food manufacturing or traders that supply raw sugar for the production of refined sugar.
The circular is effective from June 29 to December 31.
Under Việt Nam’s World Trade Organisation Accession Agreement, Việt Nam must establish an annual TRQ for raw and refined sugar (the TRQ covers both products) at a minimum volume. The level is subject to annual increases.
The ministry set a minimum allowed TRQ of 81,000 tonnes last year.
The Government last month approved the import of 100,000 tonnes of sugar, which was expected to help meet demand in the local market and bring down prices.
The prolonged drought has had a great impact on the sugar industry. According to Viet Nam Sugar and Sugar Cane Association, this year’s sugar supply would only reach 1.2 million tonnes, a whopping 1.4 million tonnes less than last year, pushing up retail prices.
The price of sugar in June was VNĐ16,000-16,600 (US$0.71-0.74)
