03 Dec 2019 --- The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has notified the Department of Commerce (Commerce) of an additional need for sugar in the US market. Consequently, the latter has increased the quantity of Mexican refined sugar permitted to be imported by 100,000 short tons (90,718.5 metric tons). This increase in Mexico’s refined sugar limit will not change the total amount of total sugar imports from Mexico, but rather the mix between refined and other sugars.
