Costa Rica: Sugar Annual
21st April 2026
Costa Rica’s marketing year 2026/2027 sugar cane and sugar production are expected to grow marginally to 3.8 million metric tons (MT) and 385,000 MT, respectively, as several factors are expected to prevent production from rebounding strongly.
The possibility of very dry weather conditions, low prices, a strong local currency, and increasing land competition present challenges to expand production. MY 2025/2026 production was lower than expected at 3.7 million MT and 375,000 MT, respectively, as a result of unfavorable weather conditions and a higher incidence of pests and diseases.
