Smallest Cane Crop Since 1979
WASHINGTON - Jun 9/06 - SNS -- U.S. sugarcane production for sugar and seed in 2005 is revised to 26.6 million tons, down 2% from the March 1 estimate, down 8% from the previous year, and the lowest production since 1979, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
Area harvested for sugar and seed totaled 922,600 acres, fractionally below the previous estimate and 2% below 2004. The estimated yield of cane for sugar and seed is 28.8 tons per acre, 0.8 ton below March and 2.1 tons below the 2004 yield.
Production decreased in all States from the previous year, with the largest declines in Florida and Louisiana due to the effects of hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. Though area harvested for sugar decreased by 21,300 acres from 2004, area harvested for seed was up by 5,700 acres.
As a result of lower yields and the acreage shift, production for sugar declined by 9% from last year, while production for seed rose by 6%.
