The National Treasury has extended the duty-free importation of white and brown sugar from outside the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) by two months.

The window, which was to close on April 6, 2024, has been extended to June 30, 2024 which allows traders to import 250,000 tonnes of duty-free sugar to supplement local production in a bid to lower prices.
