South Africa: Sugar Semi-annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Post estimates that the South African raw sugar production will increase by 8 percent to 2.2 Million Metric Tons (MMT) in the 2018/19 Marketing Year (MY), due to an increase in sugar cane delivered to the mills for crushing as the industry has fully recovered from the past four years` drought. Post estimates that sugar imports will decrease by 20 percent to 600,000 MT in the 2018/19 MY, due to the impact of the increase in import customs duty to 419.52c/kg (US$0.30/kg) in August 2018, from 213.1 c/kg (US$0.15/kg). South Africa is expected to fully utilize the United States Tariff Rate Quota allocation in the 2018/19 MY.
