South Africa: Sugar Annual
The impact of the 2015 drought is expected to continue in the 2016/17 MY. Post forecasts that the South African sugar cane crop will decrease by three percent to 14,4 MMT in the 2016/17 MY, which will result in a two percent decrease in the 2016/17 MY sugar production to 1.600 MMT. South Africa is forecasted to sufficiently meet the 2016/17 MY domestic consumption and also export some sugar to its key traditional export markets.
