Kuala lumpur: The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China: with abundant sunshine and rainfall, continues to dominate China's sugar sector, producing over 6.4 million tonnes of sugar during the 2024/2025 crushing season-accounting for 60 percent of the nation's total output for the 20th consecutive year.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the region's sugarcane planting area has reached 11.35 million mu (approximately 756,667 hectares), marking an increase of 110,000 mu year-on-year. This growth further reinforces Guangxi's nickname as China's 'National Sugar Barn.'

At the center of this surge is Guangxi Sungain Sugar Industry Group Co Ltd, which has boosted its daily processing capacity this season. Relying on the 'Eucalyptus Out, Sugarcane In' strategy and full-process mechanized planting, the group is advancing its 'Second Entrepreneurship and Second Development' blueprint to establish a new benchmark for green, efficient, and clustered diversified industrialization.

The strategy fully drives the sustainable economic and social development of the local area and injects impetus into further consolidating Guangxi's leading strategic position in China's sugar industry, as stated in a company statement.

Guangxi's sugar industry has evolved beyond traditional refining. The region now embraces intelligent processing, year-round production, and new growth areas such as bagasse power generation and deep processing of sugarcane by-products, adding value and resilience to the supply chain.

Now a pillar of rural revitalization and economic development, Guangxi's sugar industry not only ensures domestic supply and price stability but also strengthens export competitiveness-showcasing how technology, scale, and green development can redefine an entire agricultural sector.
