Philippines bans sugar imports until mid-2026 to protect farmers and stabilize prices.
The Philippine government has imposed a temporary moratorium on all sugar imports, effective immediately and lasting until mid-2026, to protect domestic farmers amid falling millgate prices.
The move, announced by the Department of Agriculture and Sugar Regulatory Administration, halts imports until the 2025–2026 milling season ends, with future imports limited to reserve "C" sugar not entering the domestic market.
The decision follows concerns over market flooding, low prices, and industry decline, driven by previous import orders and pest issues.
The government also pledged to maintain a two-month buffer stock of refined sugar and support farmer welfare.
