Bangladesh - Sugar output rises 20% in 2013/14

摘要

Bangladesh's sugar output in 2013/14 rose 20% from a year ago at a time when the state procurement agency is struggling with huge stocks of unsold sweetener amid rising raw sugar imports by private refiners, Reuters reported. Bangladesh Sugar & Food Industries Corp (BSFIC) typically imports white sugar for its reserves, but good output and high stocks allowed it to come up with a global tender in 2012 to export refined sugar from locally produced cane to the European Union under an EU preferential quota.
