According to the economic and Information Technology Commission of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia created the highest level of the sugar industry in the region in 61 years during the sugar production period in 2016/2017, laying a solid foundation for achieving the development goal of the sugar industry in the autonomous region during the 13th five year plan. A total of 950000 mu of sugar beets were sown in this period, an increase of 270000 Mu over the previous year's sugar production period; The acquisition of 3.01 million tons of sugar beets and the production of 463300 tons of sugar increased by 887400 tons and 70500 tons respectively over the sugar production period of the previous year. The average sugar content of shredded vegetables was 14.64%, and the sugar yield of sugar beet was 11.67%, a year-on-year decrease of 1.44 and 1.70 percentage points respectively.
In 2016 / 17, the national sugar planting area was 20.937 million mu during the sugar production period, a decrease of 412000 Mu over the previous year; The national production of sugar was 9.288 million tons, an increase of 586000 tons over the previous year, of which sugarcane sugar accounted for 88.73% and beet sugar accounted for 11.27%. Sugar in our district belongs to beet sugar, accounting for 44.25% of the total beet sugar in China.
During the sugar manufacturing period in 2016 / 2017, the sales volume of sugar in Inner Mongolia was 2.994 billion yuan (the sales revenue of the national sugar industry was 65.82 billion yuan), the total profit was 225 million yuan (the profit of the national sugar industry was 3.2 billion yuan), and the fiscal revenue was 198 million yuan (the fiscal revenue of the national sugar industry was 3.43 billion yuan).
According to the statistics of the sugar industry association of the autonomous region, there are six sugar enterprises in our region, with a production capacity of 22000 tons / day. Next year, it is planned to resume production, expand and build seven sugar factories in succession, and the production capacity will increase to 55000 tons / day by 2018/2019.
Relevant experts suggested that in the next step, relevant departments should draw early attention to expanding the planting area of sugar beet, strengthening the level of mechanized harvesting and reduction, and improving the collection and storage capacity of enterprises; All regions should arrange sugar factories scientifically and reasonably as soon as possible and adjust measures to local conditions to prevent vicious competition in the region; Give corresponding policy support to the sugar industry, with reference to the subsidy policies for corn, wheat, potatoes and other crops, and give financial subsidies to sugar beet farmers and their harvesting machines and tools, so as to reduce the burden of sugar beet farmers; Strengthen the technological transformation, energy conservation and environmental protection, informatization and intellectualization of sugar enterprises, improve quality and efficiency, reduce costs and increase income, improve the profit margin and market competitiveness of sugar enterprises, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the sugar industry in our region, so as to achieve the sustained, healthy and orderly development of the whole industry.
