Business Pivot Point

Global sugar prices were ruling at multi year high just two months back, on the back of massive production shortfall in the world’s largest consuming country i.e, India. But over the last two months, there have been upward revisions in the supplies in Brazil, Australia and also India.
All these have led to cancellation of many contracts by India and other major countries like Pakistan also. All these have led to the prices nose diving by over 35% in the last two months. Now there are reports of a record production from the largest producing nation ie., Brazil this year. The new supplies are expected from next month.
That has added to the pressure, and most of the analysts are expecting sugar prices to go down further by anything between 10% to 15% over the next few months.
Sugar has turned sour for a change, but that would sound tasty for millions of sugar users in India and across the globe.

US offshore areas have so far been not allowed for oil and gas drilling by the US government due to various reasons. One of the primary reason was the need to save the available local resources for use at a future date, apart from the need to avoid environmental damages.
Now the US government is likely to allow oil and gas drilling along Atlantic Coastline , Eastern Gulf of Mexico and the Alaska North Coastal region. The move could result in multiple benefits for the US economy over the longer term. First and foremost it would generate lot of employment in the oil and gas sector as it is one of the most manpower intensive industry.
Also it would lead to major development of local and regional areas as people would invest more in the region. Then it would also save billions of dollars of money for the Americans as oil and gas imports would be cut down drastically.
This move could also help the US to bargain for lower rates on the rest of the oil and gas imports from other countries. So there can be more gain for the US in the long term due to this single strategic decision by Obama administration. Being a resource based industry the demand scenario also would be stable.

The use of toiletries many times is harm to the environment. Actually we believed the sewage served as a chemical pollution.

The API’s are from the bath has greater impact than the urine and feces.
