Sugar imported into the country dipped to a seven-month low in February on improved output as factories resumed operations after months of shutdown due to a shortage of cane.

According to data from the Sugar Directorate, traders imported 42,381 tonnes of the sweetener last month, recording the lowest quantity since July 2023, when 27,179 tonnes were shipped into the country.
