Further Cuts to U.S. Sugarcane Crop
WASHINGTON - Nov 10/05 - SNS -- Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed this year in the United States is forecast at 28.4 million tons, 6% below the October forecast and 2% below 2004, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates.
Sugarcane growers intend to harvest 956,900 acres for sugar and seed during the 2005 crop year, down fractionally from October but up 2% from last year. Yield is forecast at 29.7 tons per acre, 1.9 tons below the previous forecast, 1.2 tons below the 2004 yield, and the lowest since 1933.
In Louisiana, 30% of the crop had been harvested as of October 30, four percentage points behind normal. Initial yields have shown the impact of Hurricane Rita to be worse than previously expected, prompting a decrease of 1.0 ton from last month's yield forecast.
