Since Vietnam removed quotas and reduced sugar import tax under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) in 2020, the country has seen a significant decline in sugarcane production and processing. The sugarcane production area has decreased by 45.1%, yield by 5.1%, and the number of farming households by 42.5%. The industry now only operates at 40% of the demand for sugar used in processing. Experts recommend the implementation of policies and mechanisms to improve productivity, quality, and reduce costs in the sugar industry. They also suggest linking sugarcane growing areas with processing plants and addressing issues such as smuggling, benefit-sharing ratios, and price transparency. The industry's decline is due to the low price of sugar and competition with other crops, leading to a decrease in investment and care by farmers.
