Philippine sugar mills may delay sugar milling season start to Oct 1 due to El Niño affecting sugarcane crops.
The Philippine Sugar Millers Association (PSMA) and Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) are considering a two-week delay in the start of the sugar milling season to October 1, due to El Niño's negative impact on sugarcane crops. The potential benefits of delaying milling include better cane maturity and potentially higher yields. This comes after the SRA advised mills to start milling on September 15, but recent communications suggest a uniform start date for all mills.
