Jamaica: Sugar Annual
Production for Jamaica sugar is projected to fall to 33,000 metric tons (MT) for marketing year (MY) October 2025 to September 2026, consistent with the ongoing downward trend observed in the industry. Labor shortages, elevated production costs and antiquated equipment remain the main limiting factors affecting production in the country. Despite the sliding production forecast, Jamaica plans to continue exporting raw sugar to the United States under the World Trade Organization (WTO) tariff-rate quota program, while also meeting both domestic and regional demand, especially in markets where prices are favorable.
