El Salvador: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   ES2022-0003

Sugar production in marketing year (MY) 22 is estimated at 785,000 metric tons (MT), while production for MY21 has decreased to 780,000. Improving international prices have eased the financial pressure exerted by the COVID-19 pandemic on the sugar sector. However, inflationary concerns due to the Ukrainian crisis has led the Government of El Salvador (GOES) to include sugar in a basket of products with a reduction to zero percent import duty for a period of one year.
