Sugar importation in September may millgate prices

SunStar Publishing Inc.

Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson agrees with the farmers groups who are not amenable to the timing of the sugar importation in the coming month of September. 'We're short and the 200,000 Metric tons volume is ok but we are only concerned about the timing in September because that is the usual opening of the milling season,' Lacson said citing the concerns of the sugar farmers.

“Our united commitment in the Sugar Council remains strong in advocating for the welfare of the majority of sugarcane farmers in the country,” Rojas and Abelita stressed. Last week, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel, Jr. announced that the government plans to authorize the importation of 200,000 mt refined sugar to arrive by September, which is traditionally the start of the milling season.
