Sugar production up, supply stable

BACOLOD CITY: Consumers and industrial users of sugar need not panic during the holiday season as the sugar supply in the country has stabilized, with the refineries churning out a substantially higher production than expected compared to the same period last year.

Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) records show that the total refined sugar stock stands at 228,000 metric tons (MT) for September to November, or 91 percent higher than that of last year's record at 119,000 MT during the same period.
