| The following GAIN reports were released on November 26, 2025. _______ This report provides updated guidance to help U.S. exporters comply with Indonesian Quarantine Authority regulation number 14/2024, which outlines restrictions surrounding the timing of plant shipments departing U.S. ports. For any shipments that are not in compliance with the "21-day rule" in Articles 293 or 204, we strongly recommend that U.S. exporters prepare a statement letter explaining the reason for the non-compliance (e.g., rail delay or split/rolled shipment) that was outside their control. The statement letter must be presented to Indonesian Quarantine Authority officers at destination ports to release the shipments and has been an effective means of preventing trade disruptions. Post forecasts sugar production in Marketing Year (MY) 2026 to remain flat at 2.085 million metric tons (MT). While there are expansion areas especially in Mindanao, the red-striped soft scale insects (RSSI) are affecting some sugarcane fields, which could result in lower sugar recovery. Favorable crop development in the Southern Negros is expected to compensate for the decrease in production caused by RSSI infestation. On September 29, 2025, the Philippines released Sugar Order No. 1 (SO1) allocating 100 percent of its production to the domestic market. The decision aligns with FAS Manila's forecast of zero exports in MY 2026, pending future announcements regarding the Philippines decision to ship their country-specific allocation of sugar to the U.S. WTO raw sugar tariff-rate quota (TRQ). Consumption is projected to remain steady at 2.2 million MT, with imports of 208,000 MT expected to fulfill the remaining volume approved under Sugar Order No. 8 released in July 2025.
