The Fiji Sugar Corporation is not expected to import sugar from overseas for local consumption next year.

According to the FSC total sugar production for 2016 crushing season stood at over 139,000 tones.

The Corporation says around thirty thousand tonnes of sugar is kept for annual local consumption.

Although this year’s sugar production is low the FSC is happy with the results as Tropical Cyclone Winston had damaged many farms in February.

Three loads of sugar is likely to be exported from this crushing season.
