American Sugarcane League
The sugarcane crop is ready to harvest, and Louisiana’s 11 sugar mills are grinding cane 24 hours a day.
About 15.5 million tons of cane is expected to be harvested this year. Based on past performance, the United States Department of Agriculture’s World Agricultural Supply & Demand Estimates is predicting we’ll produce about 1.8 million tons of raw sugar from that 15.5 million tons.
