Costa Rica: Sugar Annual
Costa Rica’s sugar cane production is forecast to decline by 4.3 percent in 2015/2016. This is the second consecutive year of lower production after the record harvest obtained in 2013/2014. Sugar production is expected to reach 445,000 MT in 2015/2016 as compared to 465,000 MT in 2014/2015. Production was negatively affected by drought conditions last year in the main production area of Guanacaste, coupled with excessive rainfall in other production areas of the country.
