The Sugar Regulatory Administration further lowered its raw sugar production estimate for the current crop year to 1.831 million metric tons due to adverse effects of prolonged rains and sudden closure of Central Azucarera Don Pedro Inc. sugar mill in Batangas.
Azcona explained that the further reduction in production estimates was attributed to impacts of prolonged rains in certain sugarcane plantations in the country. “Batangas and Northern Cagayan have just started milling. We are studying the impact of extended rains and we are anticipating the problem [caused by closure of] CADPI’s [sugar mill] that some of their sugarcanes will not be milled,” he told reporters in an interview.
