South Africa: Sugar Semi-annual

Post estimates that the South African sugar cane crop will increase by 5 percent to 19.9 million Metric Tons (MT) in the 2019/20 Marketing Year (MY), due to normal weather conditions, better crop management practices, improved sugar cane yields and increases in area planted for small scale growers who received support from the industry. This will result in a 4 percent increase in sugar production to 2.3 million MT in the 2019/20 MY. Post estimates that sugar exports will increase significantly by 54 percent to 1.6 million MT in the 2019/20 MY, based on the increase in sugar production, and reduced domestic demand caused by the impact of the tax on sugar sweetened beverages. South Africa is expected to fully utilize the United States Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) allocation in the 2019/20 MY.
