SRA sets sugar imports to meet US commitment

The Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) will allow producers and traders to import as much as 142,000 metric tons of the commodity to replace the volume of export committed to the United States.

In a telephone interview, SRA Administrator Ma. Regina Bautista-Martin said the agency would be issuing an administrative order to meet the “A” sugar or US quota and replace “B” sugar for domestic consumption through importation.
