The following GAIN reports were released on April 22, 2026. _______ Post forecasts Mexico’s sugar production for marketing year (MY) 2026/27 (October 1 – September 30) at 5.45 million metric tons raw value (MMT-RV), 1 percent higher than the estimate for MY 2025/26. The increased production forecast is based on seasonal rains during the previous MY and a continued recovery of the planted area in MY 2026/27. The National Committee for the Sustainable Development of Sugar Cane (CONADESUCA) has not yet published an official MY 2026/27 forecast. Sugar consumption for MY 2026/27 is forecasted to decrease 1 percent due to the expected initial impact of the 2026 Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS). Sugar imports are forecasted to decrease 33 percent due to increased tariffs and higher forecasted production. Exports are forecasted to increase by 2 percent as industry is expected to continue sales to the international market. CONADESUCA’s third production estimate for MY 2025/26 is expected during the second half of April. This report outlines the Philippine Government’s policies regulating the importation of food and agricultural products. It provides U.S. exporters with an overview of the requirements and procedures they need to comply with, in coordination with licensed Philippine importers, to access the Philippine market. The report includes information on labeling, packaging, permitted ingredients, and other relevant considerations. Additionally, it provides points of contact for key Philippine government authorities. MY 2026/27 area harvested for Senegal, Mali, and Guinea combined is forecast at 2.0 million HA. Milled rice production is forecast at 3.74 million MT. Both area and production represent a two percent year-over-year increase. Mali accounts for 52 percent of the combined rice production followed by Guinea (30 percent) and Senegal (18 percent). MY 20267/27 imports are forecast to increase less than two percent to 3.54 million tons based on available supply and population growth. In Senegal, unsold rice from the previous season and trade disruptions to fertilizer imports are increasing uncertainty for yields and area planted for the coming season. The Marketing Year (MY) 2026/27 sugar beet planting area is forecast to remain the same as last year, while production is projected to show a slight increase. Centrifugal sugar production is forecast to increase year-on-year to 3.1 million metric tons (MMT) assuming favorable weather conditions. While planting is underway across the country, the government announced the sugar beet production quota for MY 2026/27 at approximately 3 MMT, the same as the previous marketing year.
