Two weeks after the US government confirmed a new increase in the sugar export quotas from Brazil to the North American market under special tax conditions, the Ministry of Agriculture (Mapa) prorated the volume to be shipped until September 30 of this year among 37 mills across states in the North and Northeast. Published in Brazil’s Federal Gazette on August 15, Ordinance No. 472 sets out the quotas allocated to each production unit. The 37 chosen mills were selected based on the results of the previous harvest. This is the second time Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture has assigned an extra volume of sugar to be exported to the US this year.
