Abstract:This paper aims to describe the interregional distribution of sugar and discover the sugar market potential of each area under the optimum quantities and flows computed by the spatial equilibrium model. The results indicate that sugar is distributed from limited producing areas to the whole country with the increasing concentration of sugar crops production compared with the former circulation pattern that sugar was shipped to the nearest markets around many main producing areas. The shipping of the cane sugar from Southern China to the North is a marked character in China’s sugar economy. The results also show that sugar import and export in Beijing, Shandong and Liaoning provinces have significant impact on interregional sugar trade flows, especially the sugar economy in Guangxi province.
