Jamaica: Sugar Annual
For marketing year (MY) October 2024 to September 2025, Post forecasts that Jamaica’s sugar production will decline to 34,000 metric tons (MT), in line with the steady decrease observed in the industry over recent years. The Jamaica sugar industry continues to grapple with persistent challenges affecting production, including labor shortages, elevated production costs, and outdated equipment. Despite lower production projections, Jamaica is expected to continue exporting raw sugar to the United States under the World Trade Organization (WTO) tariff-rate quota program. Meanwhile, the country will continue to meet demand in both local and Caribbean export markets, particularly where prices are competitive.
