    FY 2025 Overall Sugar Marketing Allotment, Cane Sugar and Beet Sugar Marketing Allotments, and Company Allocations

    The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, requires USDA to establish the OAQ at a quantity not less than 85 percent of the estimated quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for the crop year. USDA is establishing the initial FY 2025 (crop year 2024) OAQ at 10,455,000 STRV, equal to 85 percent of 12,300,000 STRV, the estimated quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for FY 2025 as forecast in the September 2024 WASDE. Per the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, 54.35 percent of the OAQ is distributed among beet processors and 45.65 percent is distributed among the sugarcane States and cane processors, with the beet and cane sector allotments distributed to individual processors according to formulas set out in law.[1] Although the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, directs USDA to assign 325,000 STRV of the cane sector allotment to “offshore States,” CCC has determined that while sugarcane was formerly produced in Puerto Rico and Hawaii, both have permanently exited sugarcane production. As a result, CCC has allocated the 325,000 STRV of the cane sector allotment previously reserved for offshore States to the mainland sugarcane producing States. Additionally, because no sugarcane crop is estimated to be produced in Texas during FY 2025 (crop year 2024), CCC is immediately reassigning the Texas portion of the mainland sugarcane allotment, 222,999 STRV, to the other mainland sugarcane producing states on a proportional basis as follows: 125,732 STRV to Florida and 97,267 STRV to Louisiana. The initial FY 2025 sugar marketing State allotments and processor allocations, are listed in the table below.
