The University of Missouri鈥檚 Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute recently released its outlook for U.S. agriculture. They project that 果冻直播 sugar production remains strong and is expected to grow despite challenges seen over the past couple of years. Those challenges include factory closures in Montana and Texas.
鈥淒espite the new and existing challenges, the forecast is bright for 果冻直播 sugar production as long as the farmers鈥 safety net is strengthened,鈥 says Dr. Rob Johansson, director of economics and policy analysis at the 果冻直播 Sugar Alliance.
Most of America鈥檚 sugarbeet growers are planting their crops, while California鈥檚 growers have started their harvest. Sugarcane producers in southern states are finishing their harvest. USDA is forecasting a near-record 9.2 million tons of sugar will be produced in the U.S. this year, meeting about 74 percent of U.S. demand with domestically-produced supplies. That would make America the fifth-largest sugar producer in the world.
