The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service posts in Canberra, Santo Domingo, and San Salvador have released reports predicting changes in sugar production, consumption, and exports in Australia, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador for the marketing year 2025/26.
In Australia, sugar production is expected to decrease by 0.05 million tons to 3.8 million tons, marking a decade low due to wet harvest conditions, while raw sugar exports are projected to increase to 3.1 million tons.
The Dominican Republic's sugar production is forecasted to reach 600,000 metric tons, an 11% increase from the previous year, thanks to favorable rainfall and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's decision to lift restrictions on sugar and sugar-based imports from Central Romana.
In El Salvador, sugar production is anticipated to rise to 740,000 metric tons, a 5.6% increase, attributed to investments in irrigation, refining equipment modernization, and the adoption of new sugarcane seed varieties. Consequently, sugar exports are expected to increase by 19%, with a 24% rise in raw sugar exports, driven by demand from China and favorable international prices.
