USDA Sugar Reports

11th February 2013

All of USDA’s sugar reports in one place: a mix of monthly Sugar and Sweeteners Outlooks, import/export data and international GAIN reports. Using data collected by US Foreign Service officers working in more than 130 countries the USDA’S Global Agriculture Information Network (GAIN) reports provide timely information on the agricultural economy, products and issues in foreign countries that are likely to have an impact on United States agricultural production and trade.

<p>Nigeria's Trade and Investment Minister, Dr. Olusegun Aganga, said this was in line with the Nigerian Sugar Master Plan which aims at achieving self-sufficiency in the country's sugar production by 2020. Imports of machinery for local sugar refineries have recently been made tariff-free and investors in domestic sugar processing also get a five-year tax holiday.
