Executive Summary
Guangxi, often referred to as the “Sugar Bowl of China,” remains the epicenter of the nation’s sucrose production. For the 2025/2026 crushing season, the ynsugar team has identified a total of 73 active sugar mills operating across the region. These facilities are managed by 10 major corporate groups, following a decade-long consolidation effort that reduced the number of individual mills from over 100 to the current streamlined industrial landscape.
The Transformation of Guangxi Sugar Industry Group
To answer the specific query regarding the Guangxi Sugar Industry Group: this entity has undergone significant restructuring and is now known as the Guangxi Guokong Capital Operation Group.

The consolidation trend is clear: what was once a fragmented industry of over 100 small mills has been reorganized into a structured oligopoly dominated by state capital, large private conglomerates, and one central SOE. For global buyers, traders, and analysts tracking China’s domestic sugar supply, understanding this corporate map is increasingly essential — since production decisions, capacity utilization, and pricing are now driven at the group level, not the factory level.
Industry Insight: A Decade of Consolidation
The reduction from over 100 mills to 73 is the result of China’s “Sugar Industry Mergers and Acquisitions” policy. This shift has led to:
-
Higher Extraction Rates: Modernized equipment in the remaining 73 mills has increased the average sucrose recovery.
-
Logistical Efficiency: Larger groups now utilize centralized logistics for better domestic distribution.
-
Sustainability: Larger facilities are better equipped to handle wastewater treatment and bagasse-to-energy conversion.
