It
is the ideal tool for running what-if scenarios, predicting
the impact on many market values due to changes in supply/demand,
fuel or transport costs, tariff changes and even interest rate
changes.
The application is Java based and is accompanied by an open
source database. Running in Java, the application can be adapted
quickly to work on all major operating systems. |
Most
importing countries impose import tariffs based on type of sugar
and exporting country. The tariffs may be fixed or a percentage
of the delivered price (ad valorem).
The Sugarflows application evaluates tariffs from all possible
suppliers when solving for prices and trade volumes.
It shows the effect on the overall fobs export price caused
by tariffs for each sugar type and origin and period.
As absolute price levels change so do absolute tariff values
which are ad valorem based and this impacts directly on the
fobs value of export sugars as well as delivered sugar values
before and after tariffs.
Sugarflows evaluates these effects and shows the dollar per
ton impact on export sugar values fob stowed and delivered. |
