Dubai: February 23, 2023

The 7th edition of “The Dubai Sugar Conference 2023” will be launched on Tuesday, 28th of February to the 2nd of March 2023 at the Intercontinental Hotel – Dubai Festival City, The Dubai Sugar Conference is today considered to be the most important meeting ground for the movers and shakers in the world of sugar. In 2022, over 700 participants from more than 60 countries attended the event. We had insightful dialogues, explored topical subjects, saw connections made and had business concluded – all to benefit the global sugar trade and industry.

The Dubai Sugar Conference 2023 is hosted by leading industry figures Jamal Al Ghurair from Al Khaleej Sugar and Jacob Robbins from Emeterra.

There are dire warnings that monetary and fiscal policy moves in advanced economies risk pushing the world towards global recession and prolonged stagnation, inflicting worse damage than the financial crisis in 2008 and the COVID-19 shock in 2020. The unprecedented strength of the US dollar, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the impact on energy costs and climate change all make for a volatile mix. 

What will India do on the export front, and to what extent will its exports cap prices? Will the low ethanol parity prevail in Brazil, and what will be its effect on the sugar mix? Will Thailand be back in the plus 100 million tonne sugarcane club despite heavy rains and recent floods?

In Europe, the demand-supply equation appears to be finely balanced, but will high energy costs and refining capacity constraints be an issue? Container ship charter and spot container rates are falling; will rising energy costs offset this? Oil prices have retreated from their highs, but how much will recent OPEC+ production cuts and the emerging price caps on the maritime trade of Russian oil change prices? How will geopolitical front uncertainties and exchange rates affect the sugar world?

With so much happening across the globe, what better time to get together and address these and other issues? Listen to the best minds in the sugar industry debate and discuss such matters at The Dubai Sugar Conference 2023. Make enduring connections, transact business, share knowledge, and start charting the future course of sugar in these challenging times – these things make The Dubai Sugar Conference what it is.

The Dubai Sugar Conference 2023 provides an ideal opportunity to make direct contacts, sign business partnerships, and participate in charting the future course of sugar in these difficult times.
