LONDON (Reuters) - The raw sugar price could explode to 50 cents a lb if India does not retain substantial stocks, Jamal al-Ghurair, chairman of Dubai's Al Khaleej sugar refinery, said on Monday. "If we didn't have the Indian buffer stock, prices could go to 50 cents a lb," Al-Ghurair told a sugar conference. The Dubai Al Khaleej sugar refinery is the largest in the world. ICE March raw sugar futures were up 0.01 cents to 12.36 cents a lb on Monday. Al Ghurair said India needed stocks equivalent to at least two-thirds of its annual consumption -- or around 14 million tonnes -- to prevent disruption to sugar markets. "It's dangerous (dependence on Indian stocks). It's important to have stocks," he said. Current total Indian stocks stand at around 11 million tonnes, Vinay Kumar, managing director of India's National Federation of Co-operative Sugar Factories Ltd, told Reuters on the sidelines of the conference. Al Khaleej Sugar is a major sponsor of the
Tiger Woods birdied his last two holes Sunday to rally from a four-shot deficit and win the Dubai Desert Classic, starting his season with two victories that looked nothing alike.One week after winning the Buick Invitational by eight shots, Woods had to birdie five of his last seven holes for a 7-under 65, then wait to see if Ernie Els could catch him.Needing a birdie on the par-5 18th to force a playoff, Els hit his tee shot into the water and made bogey."To go 2-for-2, it's a pretty good start, isn't it?" Woods said.This is the third time he has started a season with two straight victories, and it was another sign that the world's No. 1 player could be headed for a big year. Woods now has won his last four official tournaments, and six of his last seven dating to the Bridgestone Invitational in early August.He also won his unofficial Target World Challenge by seven shots in December.Woods birdied his last two holes for a 14-under 274 and a one-shot victory over Martin Kaymer of Germa
Tiger Woods hopes of a fifth consecutive tournament win nosedived here on Saturday when Ernie Els swept by him to take the lead after three rounds of the Dubai Desert Classic. Woods ended his run of 21 straight sub-par rounds dating back five months with a lacklustre one-over 73. Els, looking for a record fourth win in Dubai, equalled the best round of the tournament to date with a seven-under 65 sparked by an eagle-three at the 10th. The big South African, who lost to Woods in a playoff here two years ago had started the day trailing the American by four strokes, By the end of it he led him by four and was in pole position for Sunday's climax. "All in all it was a round I really needed," said Els who was 11-under for the tournament. "I probably needed two 64s to have half a chance in the tournament, and as it turned out, a 65 today and probably I need a low one tomorrow. "I can't see Henrik (Stenson) with Tiger and the other guys not shooting low." Woods said he had left himsel
Tiger Woods took up at the Dubai Desert Classic on Thursday where he left off at the Buick Invitational in California on Sunday with a commanding display of golf to top the leaderboard. The world No.1 was out early in the first round of the 2.5million dollars European PGA Tour event and he did not disappoint the large gallery following him by birdieing his first hole. It could have been even better had his greenside chip for an eagle on the par-5 10th not stopped an inch from the cup. He added six more birdies for an ominous opening seven-under 65 over the Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club and that was good enough for an early two-stroke clubhouse lead. The 32-year-old Woods came into Dubai hot on the heels of a commanding eight-stroke win at his season-opener, the Buick Invitational, at Torrey Pines, California on Sunday. That was his fourth consecutive tournament win stretching back to the tail end of last year and it came wrapped around an uncustomary 10-week winter break for

As a filipino, im exposed to everyone flying abroad to make money and among the world's top places to work, everyone seems book flights to dubai and some families even visit their loved ones and spend the holidays in dubai. This raised me a question, Is dubai really a great place to visit? Well, i guess this depends on the purpose of going there; for anyone who already had multiple flights to Dubai, like my neighbor jesse, he says there are alot of websites who offer cheap flights but you just have to be persistent in finding them. "Its like finding a needle in box full of chocolates" he adds. Did he just jumble two cliches in one? haha!This post is brought to you by our friends at DialAFlight.

Dubai World is investing $2.7bn in MGM’s City Center development. CityCenter is a mixed-use luxury residential, resort and retail complex along the Las Vegas Strip. Dubai World is also buying $2.4 billion worth of MGM Mirage shares, reflecting a 9.5% stake in the business.Dubai World made headlines last year when its subsidiary, Dubai Ports World, was forced to sell its American port operations after an uproar in the US congress over security concerns. Dubai has become an influential player in global business and tourism, attracting US oil services firm Halliburton which recently moved their headquarters office there.I visited Dubai about two years ago and it looked to me as a striped down version of Las Vegas. However the rate of construction in Dubai matched Las Vegas, and in high-rise developments they are way ahead of Las Vegas. It should be noted that gambling is prohibited in Dubai and the only place where gambling is allowed is their 7-star hotel which is built on a manmade pe

What all to consider before buying an apartment in dubai / ajman ?Investing in dubai's real estate / apartment / property is the most lucrative option available not only to the middle east, but to the world. Any one can invest on these free zone / freehold / long term leasehold. The property appreciation % is more when compared to India or any other place. I am only concerned about the apartments, so let me give you an understanding of the same.
Things to consider before investing is UAE/Dubai are its economy, politics, climate. Already Dubai has more properties to-let, so yours should not be an add on. If you are going to buy and stay, It will help you reduce on your monthly house rent nightmare and you could save more. Most freehold does not offer you to rent it out, or they will ask you to stay at least 1 week every 6 months. So, better check this clause. You can do nothing about it. Dubai laws are Dubai laws. More federal (non-democratic). If you need to buy and apartment you ne
