KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- Situated in southern China, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has leveraged its unique geographical location and climate to become the nation’s top hub for sugarcane cultivation and sugar production.
According to a statement, the sugar output of Guangxi's sugar industry has stably accounted for over 60 per cent of China's total sugar production, making it a cornerstone of the nation's sugar industry.
In this thriving environment, a number of modern sugar enterprises have emerged. Among them, Guangxi Sungain Sugar Industry Group Co Ltd, one of the top 10 sugar enterprises, stands out as a private joint-stock company centred on sugarcane processing, while also branching into various other industries.
The group, which owns a large-scale sugarcane planting base, has not only successfully achieved a diversified development layout but also played a demonstration and leading role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the sugar industry.
The development of Guangxi's sugar industry has yielded significant social and economic benefits. It has improved the comprehensive benefits of agriculture and become a crucial guarantee for the stable income of farmers in many sugarcane-growing areas.
At the same time, the extension of the sugar industry chain has further enhanced resource utilisation efficiency, enabling green and circular development. Moreover, the growth of sugar enterprises has provided strong support for local finances, promoting the construction of urban and rural infrastructure and the integration of regional economies.
Looking ahead, guided by national initiatives such as rural revitalisation and coordinated regional development, Guangxi’s sugar industry is continuously strengthening technological innovation and brand building, as well as accelerating its development towards high-end, intelligent, and green transformation.
By effectively utilising new technologies such as digital agriculture and smart manufacturing, Guangxi also actively promotes the integration of the sugar industry with emerging industries, forging a new pattern of modern sugar economy with Guangxi characteristics and contributing "sweet strength" to driving economic prosperity and social progress in ethnic group areas.
