U.S. Cane Output Rising 6%
WASHINGTON - Aug 11/06 - SNS -- Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2006 is forecast at 28.2 million tons, up 6% from last year, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
Sugarcane growers intend to harvest 921,800 acres for sugar and seed during the 2006 crop year, fractionally below last year's final harvested acres. Yield is forecast at 30.6 tons per acre, 1.8 tons more than 2005.
In Florida, both area harvested and yield are expected to be higher than last year's hurricane-damaged crop, for a 9% increase in production.
In Louisiana, where hurricanes also damaged last year's crop, growers expect to harvest 10,000 fewer acres, and dry conditions have limited yield expectations to 24.0 tons per acre, just 1.1 tons higher than last year.
