Sugar Processing Market Procurement Intelligence, Supplier Intelligence, Supplier Ranking, Pricing & Cost Structure Intelligence, Best Practices, Engagement Model, Low & Best Cost Country, Day One Analysis Report, 2021 - 2027

Every organization and its procurement team want to negotiate the best deal while procuring a set of products or services. Rate benchmarking uses price/cost comparison of more than one set of products/services to analyze the most efficient combination, thus helping the procurement team to achieve an optimum rate.

The type of feedstock is one of the most important aspects while analyzing rate benchmarking of sugar processing. In our research, we have analyzed the weight and price of sugarcane and sugar beet to produce 1 kg of sugar. We found that using sugarcane instead of sugar beet is 50% more cost-efficient. However, the volume of sugar beet required to process 1kg sugar is 38% less than sugarcane.

Labor is one of the key components of costs incurred while offering a product or service. As such, understanding the pricing structure of salaries is important for organizations when selecting a supplier and building a negotiation strategy. It is also essential in determining whether the category under focus should be outsourced or built in-house.

As per our research, operations managers at Nordzucker and Sudzucker earn approximately 20% higher salaries than operations managers working in other leading companies, such as Cosan and Biosev. However, the YoY increment rate in such companies largely depends on the KRAs.
