SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Reassignments of FY 2025 Beet Sugar Allocations and Cane Sugar
Allotments and Allocations
In accordance with section 359e of the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359ee), after evaluating each sugar beet and
sugarcane processor's ability to market its full allocation, USDA is
transferring FY 2025 allocations from sugar beet processors with a
surplus allocation to those with a deficit allocation. Similarly, USDA
is transferring FY 2025 allocations from Florida sugarcane processors
with a surplus allocation to Louisiana sugarcane processors with a
deficit allocation. USDA has determined that, after these actions,
domestic cane sugar supplies are still inadequate to fill the FY 2025
cane sugar marketing allotment.
In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(1), USDA is reassigning
500,000 STRV of the cane allotment deficit to raw cane sugar imports
already anticipated, given the absence of any CCC stocks of sugar. In
Table 1 below, the amount of change in each processor's allocation is
in the column labeled ``Reassignments.'' Each processor's allocation
resulting from these changes is shown in the column labeled ``Revised
FY25 Allocations.''
USDA is not reassigning any FY 2025 beet allocations to raw cane
sugar imports at this time given the uncertainty about how much beet
sugar will be produced from new crop sugar beets in the final two
months (August-September) of FY 2025.
