Discuss about the Date Sugar Industry for Yorkton Company.

The sugar industry since a very long time has been an important industry of the world and the primary raw material of this particular industry is the sugarcane cultivated in the different parts of the world (Honig 2013). However, in the recent times a new type of raw material for the manufacture of sugar has gained prominence, namely, the date which is found in abundance in the various Gulf counties (Honig 2013). This kind of sugar is in much demand in the present times because of the various benefits which it has over the normal sugar manufactured by the top companies related to the sugar industry (Honig 2013). Therefore, it can be said that the date sugar industry has emerged as one of the most important ones in the recent times (Honig 2013).

The company also specializes in the manufacture of the various raw materials for the detergents and the surplus products manufactured by the company are sent to nations of Belgium, Norway and others.

The level “of business competition faced by the various business organizations in the present times has increased significantly in the present times” (Hayyan et al. 2012). Therefore, it becomes very important for the various business organizations to undertake a thorough market analysis so that they can devise effective strategies for the mitigation of the high level of competition faced by them (Hayyan et al. 2012). It is significant to note that the date sugar industry is one of the nascent ones and faces a considerable amount of competition from the normal sugar industry. Therefore, the existing companies in the date sugar industry face a high “level of threat from the entry of the new companies” in the same field of operation (Hayyan et al. 2012). Furthermore, the business organizations related to the date sugar industry also face a “high level of threat from the existing companies in the same field of operations” (Baikow 2013). It is significant to note that there are not many business organizations related to the date sugar industry and therefore the ones which are in business will face a “high level of competition” from the other ones. The “bargaining power of the various suppliers” related to this particular business is high as date in not commonly found in all the parts of the world and it is a reflection of this that most of the date sugar industries of the world are located in only a few nations of the world like Iran, Saudi Arab and others  (Baikow 2013). Furthermore, the “bargaining power of the various customers related to the business is very high” as the same quality of sugar is provided by the other sugar manufacturing companies of the world as well which use raw sugar for the manufacture of sugar. In the opinion of many people, “if the bargaining power of the customers is high then that is likely to adversely affect the business of the concerned business organization” (Baikow 2013). Therefore, it can be said that the business of the date sugar industry is facing a considerable amount of competition not only from the companies operational in the same industry but also from the companies operational in the manufacturing of sugar from raw sugarcane.

Conclusion

To conclude, the date sugar industry has emerged as one of the major industries of the world in the present times. However, the various companies related to the date sugar industry faces a considerable amount of competition not only from the companies operational in the same field of business operation but also from the other companies operational in the business of the manufacture of sugar from raw sugarcane.
