South Africa: Sugar Annual
Post forecasts that sugar production in South Africa will increase by 7 percent to 2.2 million MT in the 2018/19 MY, based on the improvement in sugar cane quality, better factory recoveries and an increase in sugar cane delivered to the mills for crushing. Post forecasts that sugar exports will increase significantly by 20 percent to 900,000 MT in the 2018/19 MY, due to an increase in sugar production and large available stocks. South Africa is expected to fully utilize the United States Tariff Rate Quota allocation in the 2017/18 MY.
