For marketing year 2025/26, Indonesian sugarcane and plantation white sugar productions are forecast to further increase to 35.0 million metric tons (MMT) and 2.6 million metric tons (MMT) respectively. This is due to harvested area expansion as well as the impact of La Nina, which is predicted to last until April 2025. Due to the expected higher production of domestic plantation white sugar, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) issued no import allocations for plantation white sugar for 2025/26 and slightly reduced the raw sugar import allocation for refineries. In line with population growth and growing demand from the food and beverage industry but hindered by an increased health focus, 2025/26 sugar consumption is forecast to reach to 7.7 MMT of raw sugar equivalent.
