The 2013 Import and Export Market for Cane Molasses in Latin America

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in Latin America face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying cane molasses to Latin America? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of cane molasses vary from one country to another in Latin America? Do exporters serving the market in Latin America have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, Latin America also sells to the international market of cane molasses. Which countries in Latin America supply the most exports of cane molasses? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for cane molasses in Latin America. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for cane molasses for those countries serving Latin America via exports or supplying from Latin America via imports. We do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
