Chilean raisins are almost exclusively produced from grapes deemed unsuitable for the export market at vineyards focused on fresh table grape production for export. In marketing year (MY) 2024/25, Post estimates that due to low area planted, raisin production will total 68,900 metric tons (MT), a 6.9 percent decrease from MY 2023/24. Chilean raisin exports are forecast to decrease by 7.6 percent to 66,000 MT. As table grape yields and quality levels are expected to be average in MY 2024/25, a lower share of table grape production will be turned to raisin production. Domestic consumption is forecast to increase by 1.5 percent to 3,300 MT, which aligns with a growing population.

The Philippines is set to resume raw sugar exports to the United States under its sugar quota in August 2024. The Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) issued Sugar Order (SO) No. 3 on July 26, approving the export of 25,300 metric tons raw value (MTRV) of raw sugar in fulfillment of the United States tariff rate quota (TRQ) allocation for fiscal year 2024. This move comes in response to requests from sugar traders/exporters to allow them to export raw sugar.
