World Sugar and Molasses Situation and Outlook, May 1985. Sugar, Molasses and Honey

摘要

World centrifugal sugar production in 1985/86 is forecast at 99.6 million metric tons virtually unchanged from the revised 1984/85 estimate of 99.4 million but 3% above the revised 1983/84 output of 96.2 million. The largest regional increase is expected to occur in Asia, up 7% from 1984/85. World production of sugar from cane is forecast at 63 million tons and sugar from beets at 37 million tons. Weather conditions have not been as favorable as last year because of the late spring in Europe and prolonged drought in several major cane producing countries.
