Introduction

1.1         Background

The topic of my research is the factors affecting the share price of sugar in the sugar industry. The research is conducted to compare the share prices of Mehran Sugar Mills Limited and Noon Sugar Mills Limited.

Noon Sugar Mills LTD is located in Sargodha with its head office located in Lahore. (Annual Report, 2017) Mehran Sugar Mills LTD is located in Mirpur-Khas with its head office in Karachi. (Annual Report, 2017) Both organizations’ commodity is sugar. Sugar cane which is the fifth largest crop grown in Pakistan is the most important raw material for the sugar producing companies. (Khan, 2016) This industry is an agro-based industry, which gives work to the landless provincial populace and greatly affects the economy of the nation. In the course of recent years it has turned into the second biggest industry after the Textiles part. Its commitment towards the upbringing of the economy is extensive and broad. The Pakistani nation is known as the sweet obsessed Pakistani nation because of it’s per capital consumption for sugar is approximately 25 kilogram which is based on strong demand and enhanced supply. The sugar industry is one of the important industries as it includes linkages in the domestic markets as well as international market. (Ravi, 2015)
