South Africa is expected to harvest 1.63 million tonnes of sugar in 2015-2016 season, lowest since 1995 and down 22 percent on the previous period as a severe drought hits the production. The worst drought in a century has hurt sugar and maize producing regions, thus piling pressure on sugar producers who are also grappling with cheap imports.
