Turkey: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Lower polarity rates in the last two harvest seasons in Turkey and unchanged sugar quotas led to a substantial increase in sugar imports in 2015. Eventually, the total sugar quota increased six percent in MY 2016/17 where total beet sugar quota is announced as 2.5 MMT and the starch based sugar quota is 265,000 MT. As a result of the increase in quotas, Turkey’s sugar beet plantation increased eight percent in MY 2016/17. Even though the production quotas for MY 2017/18 have not yet been announced, post expects these figures to have a slight increase in the upcoming marketing year.
