How Does Seed Treatment Help in Improving Yield? 

Seed treatment can be defined as the application of insecticide, fungicide, or both to seeds to disinfect them from soil-borne or seed-borne pathogenic organisms or storage insects. It refers to seeds subjected to immersion in conditioned water, solar energy exposure, or others.

The seed treatment helps in preventing the spread of plant diseases. It protects seeds from seedling blights and seed rot. In addition, seed treatment improves germination, ensures protection from storage insects, and controls soil insects.

Methods for Seed Treatment

Seed Dressing: Seed dressing is the most common method for seed protection. In this way, the seed is dressed with either a dry formulation or wet treatment with a liquid formulation or slurry. Dressings need to be applied in both industries, and farms. This process involves, spreading the sheet on a polyethylene sheet, and needs several chemicals for sprinkling on surface seeds.

Seed Coating: The seed coating method is primarily utilized in industries. It involves advanced treatment technology.

Seed Pelleting: It is a method utilized for transforming the physical shape of the seed to improve palatability. This process involves sophisticated seed treatment technology.

The seed treatment industry is projected to rise in the coming years. It is ascribed to surging government initiatives, and efforts of private organizations to enhance the crop yield, with increasing application of technologically advanced seed treatment solutions for improving the seed quality, and growing requirement for basic grains and vegetables, led by increasing population.

Under the crop type, cereals and grains capture the largest industry share, in terms of both value, and volume. It is ascribed to the massive-volume production of cereals and grains, including wheat, rice, corn, ragi, barley, and sorghum, led by increasing consumption and surging per capita income.

Under the application method segment, the dressing category holds the largest volume and revenue shares. It is ascribed to the rising usage of dressings as dry formulations, wet-treated slurry, and liquid formulation applications.

Under the application time segment, the pre-treatment category captures the largest industry share, in terms of both revenue and volume. It is ascribed to the rising adoption by the manufacturer for the protection of seeds from soil-borne, and seed-borne diseases.

APAC captures the largest industry share, and it is projected to follow the same trend in the coming future. It is ascribed to the high-volume crop production in countries, such as Vietnam, South Korea, India, China, and Australia. Furthermore, these countries employ more seed protection products to improve yield.

Cuba broke through its colonial domination into freedom. From the mountains of the Sierra Maestra and from the cities came the torrential power of the people against the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. ‘The revolution is made in the midst of danger’, said Fidel Castro as he led his band of peasant-soldiers from the hills into the cities. They had triumphed against remarkable odds. Quickly, the revolutionaries passed a series of decrees – just as the Soviets had – to draw the key classes to their side. To draw in the urban Cubans, the revolutionaries cut rents by half – sending a strong signal to the bourgeoisie that they had a different class outlook. Then, the revolutionaries took on the United States, whose government held a monopoly over services to the island. Telephone and electrical companies – all American – were told to reduce their rates immediately. Then, on May 17, 1959, the Cuban government passed its agrarian reform – the keystone of the revolutionary process. Land holdings would be restricted so that no large landowners could dominate the landscape and so that the US sugar industry could not strangle the hopes of the island. The most radical part of the reform was not the land ceiling itself, but the logic that agrarian reform would transform the stagnation of the Cuban economy and its dependence upon the United States. The law clearly stated that, from a socialist standpoint,

«The agrarian reform has two principal objectives: (a) to facilitate the planting or the extension of new crops with the view of furnishing raw materials to industry, satisfying the food requirements of the nation, increasing the export of agricultural products and, reciprocally, the import of foreign products which are essential to use; (b) to develop the interior market (family, domestic) by raising the purchasing power of the rural population. In other words, increase the national demand in order to develop the industries atrophied by an overly restrained consumption, or in order to create those which, for lack of customers, were never able to get started among us.»

The revolutionaries wanted to diversify their sugarcane island, produce food security for their people, remove people from desperation, increase the ability of people to consume a range of goods and engineer a people-centred rather than an export-centred economy. Long before Castro announced his commitment to communism, the regime had already developed a carefully thought out socialist platform.

The United States of America, having overthrown the radical nationalist government in Guatemala in 1954, was eager to repeat the task in Cuba in 1959. An embargo came swiftly, as did every form of humiliation possible against the Cuban people. The Cuban economy was structured around dependency to Washington, with the sugar bought by the US firms and with the island turned into a playground for American tourists. Now, the US decided to squeeze this little island, only ninety miles from the US shoreline. Gunboats were readied, a failed invasion tried in April 1961 at the Bay of Pigs. Cuba was vulnerable but also protected by the deep roots of its revolution. But would this protection be sufficient? Could Cuba, alone, be able to survive the onslaught from the United States?

On February 5, 1960, a leader in the USSR and an Old Bolshevik – Anastas Mikoyan – came to Havana to join Fidel Castro at the opening of a Soviet scientific, cultural and technical exhibition. A week later, Mikoyan and Castro signed an agreement for the USSR to buy Cuban sugar at the world market price (in dollars) and provide credits for the Cubans to buy Russian goods. The USSR would subsequently buy almost all the Cuban sugar harvest, even as the Russian consumer market could very well have been supplied by beet sugar from within the USSR. Prices fluctuated, but, on balance, the Cubans were able to find a regular buyer to take over from the United States. The Russians also provided over a $100 million in credits toward the construction of Cuba’s chemical industry as well as trained Cuban technical and scientific workers in the USSR. Diversification of Cuba’s economy remained on the cards, although it became clear that it would not be an easy task. In August 1963, Castro announced that diversification, as well as industrialization, would be postponed. Cuba needed to concentrate on its sugarcane harvest to earn the means to survive the embargo.

On February 24, 1965, Che Guevara addressed the Second Economic Seminar of Afro-Asian Solidarity in Algiers, Algeria. He had come to talk about the economic problems for a revolution in a post-colonial country. Overthrowing the former colonizer was not enough, Che said, since ‘a real break’ is needed from imperialism for the new state to actually flourish and not remain in dependency. How could the post-colonial state survive a hostile economic climate? Who would buy its goods – mainly primary, unprocessed goods – at a fair price, and who would lend it capital at fair terms to develop? Capitalist banks and countries would not provide the post-colonial state, particularly a socialist state, with the means to break out of the trap of underdevelopment. Banks would lend money to a post-colonial state at rates higher than it would lend to a colonial power. Expensive money would only put the post-colonial state into further difficulty, as it would find it hard to service its debt and see its debt multiply out of hand. To prevent this situation, Che argued, the ‘socialist countries must help pay for the development of countries now starting out on the road to liberation’. Trade between socialist countries must not take place based on the law of value of capitalism, but through the creation of fraternal prices. ‘The real task’, Che said, ‘consists of setting prices that will permit development. A great shift in ideas will be involved in changing the order of international relations. Foreign trade should not determine policy, but should, on the contrary, be subordinated to a fraternal policy toward the peoples.’

China, in 1960, offered Cuba credit of $60 million without interest and without a timeline for repayment. This was an enviable loan. But the scale was much smaller than the Soviet assistance. By 1964, the USSR had provided Cuba with economic assistance valued at over $600 million, while the Eastern European countries offered several hundred million more in aid and assistance. The USSR had also trained over 3,000 Cubans in agronomy and agricultural mechanization as well as 900 Cubans as engineers and technicians. Che recognized the value of the Soviet ‘fraternal policy’ both in terms of the training and in the prices offered. ‘Clearly, we could not ask the Socialist world to buy this quantity of sugar at this price based on economic motives’, he had said in 1961, ‘because really there is no reason in world commerce for this purchase and it was simply a political gesture’.

Sugar Prices | Prices | Pricing | News | Database | Chart | ChemAnalyst

Sugar prices are a focal point of global economic discussion, given their significant impact on food production, international trade, and economic stability in many regions. The fluctuations in sugar prices are influenced by a diverse array of factors, including climatic changes, government policies, demand-supply imbalances, and international trade agreements. As one of the world's most widely traded commodities, the sugar market is closely monitored by both producers and consumers, with prices affecting the economies of several countries, especially those heavily reliant on sugar exports.

The price of sugar is highly dependent on weather conditions in the major producing regions, such as Brazil, India, and Thailand. These regions experience seasonal variations that can lead to either bumper crops or production deficits. For instance, droughts, excessive rainfall, or severe storms can have a devastating impact on sugarcane yields, leading to price hikes in the international markets. On the other hand, favorable weather conditions and abundant harvests can create a supply glut, resulting in lower prices. As such, any changes in meteorological conditions are closely monitored by market participants, who respond quickly to the shifting supply outlook.

Get Real Time Prices for Sugar: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/sugar-1607Global demand for sugar also plays a pivotal role in determining its price. Sugar is a staple in numerous food and beverage products, and consumption trends vary based on economic conditions, health awareness, and evolving consumer preferences. For instance, health-conscious consumers in some parts of the world are reducing their sugar intake due to concerns about obesity, diabetes, and other health issues, which can put downward pressure on demand. Conversely, developing countries with rising incomes and expanding populations may experience increased sugar consumption, supporting higher prices. Furthermore, the growing popularity of processed and convenience foods in emerging markets is another factor contributing to sustained sugar demand, which in turn influences market prices.

Another major determinant of sugar prices is the interplay between sugar and alternative sweeteners. As health-conscious consumers seek lower-calorie or non-sugar alternatives, there is growing competition from products such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), stevia, and artificial sweeteners. The demand for these alternatives can impact sugar consumption levels, potentially leading to fluctuations in market prices. However, regulatory policies, production costs, and consumer acceptance play critical roles in shaping the market dynamics between sugar and its alternatives.

The sugar market is also closely tied to government interventions, including subsidies, tariffs, and import/export restrictions. Policies designed to protect domestic producers often lead to price distortions in the global market. For example, countries like India have historically provided subsidies to their sugarcane farmers, boosting domestic production and exports. Such actions can lead to an oversupply of sugar in the global market, exerting downward pressure on prices. Similarly, export restrictions or high tariffs imposed by some countries to safeguard their local industries may reduce global supply, potentially pushing prices higher. Thus, government policies continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the sugar market landscape.

Another influential factor affecting sugar prices is the energy market, particularly the relationship between sugarcane and ethanol production. In countries like Brazil, sugarcane is a key raw material for both sugar and ethanol. When oil prices rise, there is often an increased demand for ethanol as an alternative fuel, which can lead to higher sugarcane allocation toward ethanol production. This shift can reduce sugar output, creating supply shortages and driving prices up. Conversely, when oil prices fall, the demand for ethanol declines, leading to a higher production of sugar and, in turn, potentially lower prices. As such, fluctuations in global energy prices and shifts in biofuel policies have a considerable impact on the sugar market.

International trade agreements and market speculation are additional factors that influence sugar prices. Trade deals between major producing and consuming countries can open new markets or restrict access, leading to price volatility. Similarly, market speculation, driven by hedge funds and other financial institutions, can amplify price movements. Speculators may buy and sell sugar futures contracts based on perceived market conditions, geopolitical developments, or changes in government policy, leading to rapid price swings. While speculation can enhance liquidity in the market, it can also lead to periods of heightened volatility, causing challenges for producers and consumers alike.

Currency fluctuations are yet another important consideration for sugar prices, given that the commodity is typically traded in U.S. dollars. Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of major producing nations can have a profound impact on international trade dynamics. For example, a strong U.S. dollar makes sugar more expensive for buyers using other currencies, potentially reducing global demand. Conversely, a weak dollar can lead to higher demand from foreign buyers, as sugar becomes relatively more affordable.

Lastly, environmental concerns and sustainability initiatives are shaping the long-term trends in sugar production and prices. The environmental impact of sugarcane cultivation, including deforestation, water usage, and soil degradation, has come under increasing scrutiny. As consumers and governments prioritize sustainability, producers may face stricter regulations, which can increase production costs and influence market prices. Additionally, initiatives to promote sustainable and fair-trade sugar can attract a premium price, reflecting the growing demand for environmentally friendly and ethically produced commodities.

In conclusion, the factors influencing sugar prices are complex and interrelated. From climatic conditions and global demand to government policies and currency fluctuations, a multitude of elements impact the supply and demand dynamics that determine the market price of sugar. Understanding these factors is crucial for stakeholders across the sugar value chain, as they seek to manage risk, capitalize on market opportunities, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the industry. As the world continues to grapple with economic, environmental, and health-related challenges, sugar prices will remain a subject of keen interest and critical importance.
