Philippines: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   RP2025-0023
FAS Manila forecasts marketing year (MY) 2026 raw sugar production to remain flat at 1.85 million metric tons (MT). Ample rainfall during the planting season which started in October supported sugarcane planting among farms with no irrigation. Sugar imports will continue to stabilize supply and prices in the domestic market. Post forecasts refined imports of 300,000 MT (321,000 MT raw sugar equivalent) in MY 2026 per Sugar Order No. 5 released on March 12, 2025, and Sugar Order No 2, released on February 7, 2025. Post expects the Philippines to fulfill its 2025 U.S. WTO sugar tariff-rate quota allocation of 66,000 metric tons raw value (MTRV). At this time, Post forecasts zero exports in MY 2026.
