F.O. Licht's 11th European Sugar Conference provided a complete analysis of the global sugar market and the key factors impacting the European sugar industry. Sugar may have been a late starter in the global commodities boom that started in early 2007, but it has been among the strongest of commodities in the first quarter of 2008.

The depreciation of the US dollar, an increase in freight rates, high oil prices and the re-emergence of India as a sugar exporter have had a significant impact on world sugar trade. In Europe, the ongoing implementation of the EU sugar reform caused far-reaching changes in the industry and lead to long-term shifts in international trade patterns.

F.O. Licht's 11th European Sugar Conference offered you the opportunity to share the insights of experts around the world and to prepare for what may lie ahead.
