SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FY 2025 Cane Reassignment
In accordance with section 359e of the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359ee), after evaluating each sugarcane processor's
ability to market its full allocation, USDA is transferring FY 2025
allocations from sugarcane processors with surplus allocation to those
with deficit allocation, as shown in the table below. Further
evaluation resulted in no adjustments to the beet sector allotments or
allocations.

FY 2026 Overall Allotment Quantity Establishment
The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, requires USDA
to establish the OAQ at a quantity not less than 85 percent of the
estimated quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for the crop
year. USDA is establishing the initial FY 2026 (crop year 2025) OAQ at
10,166,000 STRV, equal to 85 percent of 11,960,000 STRV, the estimated
quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for FY 2026 as
forecast in the September 2025 World Agricultural Supply and Demand
Estimates (WASDE) report. Per the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938,
as amended, 54.35 percent of the OAQ is distributed among beet
processors and 45.65 percent is distributed among the sugarcane States
and cane processors, with the beet and cane sector allotments
distributed to individual processors according to formulas set out in
law.\1\ Although the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended,
directs USDA to assign 325,000 STRV of the cane sector allotment to
``offshore States,'' CCC has determined that while sugarcane was
formerly produced in Puerto Rico and Hawaii, both have permanently
exited sugarcane production. As a result, CCC has allocated the 325,000
STRV of the cane sector allotment previously reserved for offshore
States to the mainland sugarcane producing States. Additionally,
because no sugarcane crop is forecast to be produced in Texas during
FY26 (crop year 2025), the Texas portion of the mainland sugarcane
allotment is distributed to other mainland sugarcane producing states.
The initial FY 2026 sugar marketing State allotments and processor
allocations are listed in the table below.
