ʻO ka nui o nā waihona gula i hōʻoia ʻia o ka honua ma kahi o 100,000 tone. Ua piʻi aʻe ke kumukūʻai gula ma kahi o 15% i nā mahina ʻekolu i hala.

Ma ke ʻano he ʻano metala me nā waiwai pālua o ke kālā a me ka waiwai kūʻai, he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ke gula o nā waihona kālā haole o nā ʻāina like ʻole. Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Malaki, ua piʻi ke kumukūʻai gula honua mai $1,676 i ka auneke a i $1,912.77 ma Iune 1, e pani ana ma $1,904.84. Ua hāʻule ia ma lalo o $1,900 i ka auneke Troy i nā lā ʻelua i hala iho nei, akā ke kiʻekiʻe nei. I loko o ʻekolu mahina wale nō, ua piʻi ke kumukūʻai gula ma kahi o 15%. He aha nā loli i hana ʻia ma ke kaulahao ʻoihana gula holoʻokoʻa i mua o ka mākeke e piʻi nei?

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Zhang Yongtao, Hope Luna Hoʻomalu a me Kakauolelo Nui o ka Hui Gula Kina, ua hāʻawi ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai gula i kahi manawa kūpono no ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻoihana gula kūloko. Ua pālahalaha ka maʻi ahulau i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, a ʻo nā loli koke i ke kūlana politika a me ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka honua i hoʻonui nui i ke kūlana a me ke kuleana o ke gula, e hāʻawi ana i ke kākoʻo ikaika no ke kūpaʻa a me ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai gula o ka honua. Ke piʻi aʻe nei ke kumukūʻai gula i nā loli mau, ua ikaika ka mākeke gula. I kēia manawa, ke kiʻekiʻe nei ke kumukūʻai gula o ka honua, e hāʻawi ana i kahi manawa kūpono no ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻoihana gula.

Ua hōʻike ʻia ka ʻikepili ua ʻike ʻia kēia mau waihona hoʻomohala waiwai ma kahi o 100,000 tons ma ka hoʻomohala honua o nā ʻoihana gula, me kahi waihona ʻike kumu ma kahi o 50,000 tons. Ma waena o nā 100 tausani tons o ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o nā waihona ʻike kumuwaiwai loea gula, ua hoʻolaha ʻia nā ʻike nui ma mua o ʻumikūmālua mau ʻāina like ʻole, e like me ʻApelika Hema, Kina, Rusia, Australia, Indonesia, a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

Wahi a ka ʻikepili i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ke Kuhina o nā Kumuwaiwai Kūlohelohe, i ka makahiki 2019, ʻo ka nui o nā waihona gula o Kina he 14,131.06 tone, e helu ana ma kahi o 14.13 pakeneka o ka huina honua. Eia nō naʻe, ua haʻahaʻa loa ka pae ʻimi honua o Kina no nā kumuwaiwai mineral gula, a ʻo kāna mau waihona kumu he 2,298.36 tone, e lilo ana ia i ka ʻeiwa o nā waihona gula nui loa ma ka honua. Mai ka makahiki 2016, ua piʻi mālie ka nui o nā papahana ʻeli gula honua, a hoʻomaka e emi iho i ka makahiki 2019. I ka makahiki 2020, ua hoʻokō ʻia he 1,990 mau papahana ʻeli gula ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, piʻi he 23% mai 1,546 i ka makahiki 2019.

I kēlā me kēia mahina, ua piʻi mālie ka nui o nā papahana ʻeli gula honua i ka makahiki 2020 ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana i Malaki, e piʻi ana i 197 i Dekemaba, he 112% mai ka haʻahaʻa o Malaki he 93. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā papahana ʻeli gula ma Australia, Kanada a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I ka makahiki 2020, e hoʻokō ʻo Australia, Kanada a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i 659, 539 a me 172 mau papahana ʻeli. I ka hui pū ʻana, ʻo nā ʻāina ʻekolu he 72% o nā papahana ʻeli gula o ka honua. Mai 2016 a 2018, ua hōʻike ka nui o nā kumuwaiwai gula hou i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua i kahi ʻano o ka piʻi mālie ʻana, e hōʻea ana i 1,682.7 tons i ka makahiki 2018, a e hōʻike ana i ka emi nui ʻana i ka makahiki 2019. I ka makahiki 2020, ua piʻi nui ka nui o nā kumuwaiwai gula hou i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua, e piʻi ana ma ka 27% i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 2019, e hōʻea ana i 1,090 tons. ʻO ka huina o nā kumuwaiwai gula i ʻike hou ʻia i ka makahiki 2020 aia ma ke ʻano o "A", a ʻo ka nui o nā kumuwaiwai gula i ʻike hou ʻia i Iune a me Iulai ʻo ia ka haʻahaʻa loa a me ke kiʻekiʻe loa i ka makahiki, ʻo ia hoʻi he 4.9 tons a me 410.6 tons.

"ʻOiai ua emi nui nā kālā no ka ʻimi honua o nā waihona gula i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua piʻi mau nā waihona i hōʻoia ʻia o nā waihona gula i kēlā me kēia makahiki." ʻO nā pilikia nui a me nā pilikia e kū nei iā Kina no ka hoʻomohala waiwai o ka ʻoihana mining gula e hōʻike ʻia ma nā ʻano ʻekolu: ʻO ka mua, ua emi nui ka hoʻopukapuka kālā i ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā waihona ʻimi gula, e alakaʻi ana i ka "pilikia o ka nele o nā kumuwaiwai gula". ʻO ka lua, pono nā ʻoihana hana a me ka hoʻokele gula e hana i nā hoʻoikaika like e hoʻololi i ka maʻamau hou. No ka laʻana, ua helu ʻia nā koena cyanide ma ka Papa Inoa o nā ʻŌpala Pōʻino e pili ana i ka Mokuʻāina, kahi e kau nei i kahi koi kiʻekiʻe no ka hana ʻana i nā mines gula. ʻO ke kolu, ʻaʻole hiki i ka ʻike ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana gula ke hoʻokō i nā pono o nā ʻoihana like ʻole i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka mākeke. "ʻO ka hana hou ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana, me nā mea hana kaiapuni cyanide manuahi a haʻahaʻa nā loea gula (kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe, universality maikaʻi ʻole), ua paʻakikī ka paʻakikī o ka ʻenehana ʻenekinia mining kino hohonu e uhaʻi i ka (e like me ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe, paʻakikī).
