THE Philippines' raw sugar production for marketing year 2024 to 2025 is expected to remain flat at 1.85 million metric tons (MT), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) said, citing the El Niño weather disturbance as a factor that can affect yield.

In its latest Foreign Agricultural Service report, the USDA said that around 50,000 MT of raw sugar is produced weekly. However, factors such as diversion to ethanol production and milling production should also be considered.
