**Report Highlights:**

In marketing year 2007/2008, sugar beet production decreased by 24
percent. The profitability of sugar beets also decreased from 11% in
2006 to -10% in 2007 because of overproduction in marketing year
2006/2007 and beet sugar price decreases. As a result, the sugar beet
sown area decreased in 2007 by 23% and is expected to remain low and
stable through 2008.

# Executive Summary

In marketing year 2007/2008, sugar beet and sugar production decreased
by 24% and 30% respectively, compared to the pervious year. This
decrease followed the highest sugar beet crop (marketing year 2006/2007)
recorded during the past 10 years. MY 2006/2007 sugar overproduction
resulted in an excess supply in marketing year 2007/2008. Ukraine does
not export sugar and was unable to consume all of the 2,850,000 tons of
raw sugar produced that year. As a consequence, ending stocks were the
highest level in the past 10 years. Large quantities remain unsold by
farmers or sold unprofitably. This market condition resulted in farmers
decreasing the sugar beet sown area by 23% in 2007/2008.

# Production

In 2007/2008, the sown area for sugar beet crops decreased by almost 23%
compared to 2006 levels despite the jump in sugar beet profitability
recorded in 2006. Another reason for the decrease was higher
profitability for oilseeds like sunflower and soybeans (please refer to
the table below). In 2007/2008, the decrease in the spring sown area
resulted in a 24% decrease in sugar beet production.

Ministry of Agriculture expects that sown area under sugar beet will
decrease by 24% to 480,000 hectares in 2008. This decrease in the spring
2008 sown area will result in 15 million tons of sugar beet production,
according to Ministry of Agriculture.

####### **Profitability of Main Agricultural Crops (% Change)**

*Data source: State Statistics Committee of Ukraine and National Sugar
Association*

In 2008, the sugar beet sown area will likely remain comparable to the
2007 level. Other factors that will contribute to the decrease in sugar
beet sown area are: a high winter wheat sown area; a lower total spring
sown area compared to 2007; very low profitability for marketing year
2007/2008; sugar beet and sugar overproduction in marketing year
2006/2007; significant stocks of sugar at the processing plants and
farms (traditionally farmers are compensated with sugar as payment for
sugar beets they delivered to the sugar processing plant).

The table below depicts the downward trend in the sugar beet sown area
over the past decade. This decrease actually began in 1990 and the
correlation between high sugar beet prices and the decrease in the sown
area is high. The unfavorable winter crop area in 2005, the higher
profitability of sugar beet production in 2005, and the significant
increase in the sown area of the spring crop in 2006 resulted in the
temporary increase in the sown area in marketing year 2006/2007. For
2007/2008 and 2008/2009, some of the area that was traditionally sown
with sugar beets will now grow sunflower, soybeans, spring barley and
corn (please refer to the graph, "Sown Areas for Major Crops").

# Trade

No sugar beets were imported into Ukraine until May 2005 because of the
prohibitively high import duty (50%, but not less than 125 Euro per 1
metric ton). The Ukrainian Parliament (Rada) reduced the import duty to
20% *ad valorem* in May 2005 opening the Ukrainian market for the first
time in September 2005 to imports of sugar beets (HS Code 121291) for
processing. Total imports of sugar beets from September through January
2005 reached 113,000 tons. Import volumes for October 2006 through
September 2007 decreased to 35,805 tons.

Sugar beet production increased by 36% in 2006 and was the highest
recorded level since 1994. As a consequence, sugar beet imports
decreased. The total volume of sugar beet imports from Belarus, Poland
and Lithuania in 2007 was only 30% of the volume recorded a year
earlier.

For marketing year 2008, the sugar beet sown area is likely to decrease
to historically low levels. Sugar beet imports will be possible but will
not be significant.

## Beet Sugar Production

Production of beet sugar in marketing year [2007/2008 was revised down
by 30%]{.underline} over marketing year 2006/2007 as a result of lower
sugar beet production. As of February 2008, sugar processing plants had
processed 95% of the sugar beet crop and produced 1,850,000 tons of
sugar for marketing year 2007/2008. Final sugar production for marketing
year 2007/2008 is estimated at 2,010,000 tons.

## 

# Consumption

Consumption of sugar will likely continue to increase at a slow growth
rate during marketing year 2007/2008 because of increased demand by the
food processing sector. Ukrainians continue to consume sugar, primary
refined sugar, and often use sugar for home canning. Historical data for
sugar, consumption for substitutable products and consumption of sugar
by households in Ukraine is provided in the Statistical Tables Section.

# Trade

## Imports

The import of raw cane sugar may increase in marketing year 2007/2008,
especially if Ukraine accedes to the WTO. After WTO accession, the
annual calendar year import quota for cane sugar will be set at 260,000
tons. This amount was approved on March 7, 2007 with the passage of
Decree \# 404. The expectation is that after Ukraine accedes to the WTO,
260,000 tons of cane sugar will be imported during marketing year
2007/2008 despite the high carry over that is forecasted. Importers
prefer to import raw cane sugar to Ukraine because the profitability of
cane sugar is much higher than for beet sugar.

# Stocks

Despite existing legislative provisions that are currently in place, the
government has been unable to create an effective sugar intervention
mechanism because of insufficient funds in the state budget that would
be necessary to purchase government stocks.

Marketing year 2006/2007 stocks will be unusually high, a direct result
of the high stocks recorded in 2005/2006, the measured increase in
consumption and a very low level of exports. High stocks for marketing
year 2006/2007 are expected to carry over, resulting in high stock
levels for marketing year 2007/2008 as well.

\*Quota "A" -- the quota of sugar production earmarked for the domestic
market by Ukrainian plants

\*\*Quota "B" -- the quota of sugar production earmarked for export to
international markets

*Source: The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine*

On December 13, 2006, the President of Ukraine signed a law establishing
an annual cane sugar import quota. The significance of this law is that
for the first time a substantial amount of cane sugar will be able to
enter the country without special government approval. The annual quota
will be set at 260,000 tons. The law will be implemented upon Ukraine's
accession to the WTO. The in-quota duty rate will be 2% of the costume's
value and the out-of-quota duty rate will be assessed at 50% of the
value.
