Bolivia is set to see a 20% increase in sugar exports in the 2021-2022 harvest, reaching 3.3 million quintals compared to the previous period's 2.7 million. This move is supported by Supreme Decree 4680, which ensures food security and allows certificates for exports. A collaborative committee involving the national government, producers, and industry will develop a harvest and production plan to regulate the domestic market, price stability, and export volumes. The country's annual sugar production is estimated at 11 million quintals, with 2 million quintals available for export. Additionally, the production of 200 million liters of anhydrous alcohol is anticipated, with YPFB purchasing 145 million liters for ethanol production, generating income for the sugarcane and industrial sector.
