Sugarcane| Jamaica will produce more raw sugar next year as two of the country's six mills return

Jamaica will produce more raw sugar next year as two of the country's six mills return to operation, while European Union demand for foreign supplies is expected to drop due to a policy change, by the United States government. Jamaica, a major supplier to US and EU refiners, is expected to produce 140,000 tonnes of sugar in the 2016-17 marketing year.
