Pakistan: Sugar Semi-annual
The soon-to-be-harvested sugarcane crop was largely unaffected by recent flooding. An estimated 20,000 hectares of cane were affected, but strong rains and good soil moisture are expected to boost yields heading into harvest. Sugar production is expected to drop as farmers feed damaged cane to livestock. Sugar exports are forecast at 300,000 metric tons (MT), the lowest level since 2010/11.
