9th April 2009

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.

Major export destinations in 2008 included the United States, Canada, and Haiti. The average sugar cane yield is estimated to be 78.5 MT per hectare (HA) in 2008/2009 versus 76.6 in 2007/2008. Sugar production is estimated to be 431,000 MT, 15% lower than the 2007/2008 season. The 2009/2010 forecast for sugar production is 430,000 MT.
