Mexico: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MX2025-0022
Post forecasts Mexico’s sugar production at 5.4 million metric tons raw value (MMT-RV) for marketing year (MY) 2025/26 (October 1 – September 30), 6 percent higher than the estimate for MY 2024/25. The increased production forecast is based on seasonal rains in several sugarcane-producing states during MY 2024/25 and an expected recovery of the planted area in MY 2025/26. The National Committee for the Sustainable Development of Sugar Cane (CONADESUCA) has not yet published an official MY 2025/26 forecast. On March 26, CONADESUCA published its third production estimate for MY 2024/25, showing a decrease in sugar production due to lower estimated planted area and lower recovery rate.
