Jamaica: Sugar Annual
Link to report:
Jamaica’s raw sugar production in Marketing Year (MY)2021/2022 was 40,450 MT, eight percent lower than the previous MY. In MY 2022/23, Post projects 38,000 MT of sugar due to falling production. Sources claim that issues such as reallocation, the use of previous sugar lands, the high cost of production, and labor shortages are responsible for the sustained decline. Although production is likely to continue falling, Post expects that Jamaica will fulfill its export quota to the United States, while also satisfying local and regional market demands in MY2022/2023.
