PH’s sugar production now stands at 1.1 MMT 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Madelaine B. MiraflorThe country’s sugar production has already reached 1.1 million metric tons (MT) or halfway through the government’s sugar production target for the current crop year, but stakeholders are not too optimistic. The Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) has pegged production target at 2.2 million MT for this sugar crop year, but production as of January has already reached 1.1 million MT. The sugar crop year started in September last year and will end in August yet. For this year, SRA allotted 95 percent of the country’s estimated sugar output to domestic sugar market or “B” sugar, while five percent will be tapped to meet US Quota Sugar or “A” sugar.
