Costa Rica: Sugar Annual
Costa Rica’s sugar cane production is forecast to increase 1.47 percent in 2016/2017 reaching 449,000 MT - slightly higher than the 446,000 MT produced in 2015/2016. Although area planted has increased during the last few crop years, production has not been able to exceed the record level achieved during the 2013/2014 harvest. The forecast for 2017/2018 is for higher production of both cane and sugar as a result of higher area planted.
