USDA Announces Fiscal Year 2026 Reassignment of Domestic Sugar Marketing Allotments

Washington, D.C., February 10, 2026 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced updates to fiscal year (FY) 2026 domestic sugar marketing allotments and company allocations for both cane sugar and beet sugar. As required under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, USDA periodically reassigns sugar marketing allotments to ensure available domestic sugar can be efficiently marketed for food use in the United States.

Cane Sugar Reassignment

Based on the evaluation of each sugarcane state's and processor's ability to market their full allotments, USDA is transferring 315,464 short tons, raw value, of Florida's FY 2026 cane sugar allotment to Louisiana. This action reallocates marketing authority from Florida sugarcane processors with surplus allocation to Louisiana processors with allocation shortfalls.

Beet Sugar Reassignment

USDA is also revising FY 2026 beet sugar marketing allocations among beet sugar processors. Allocations are being transferred from processors with surplus allocation to those requiring more allocation to market their expected supplies.

These changes apply to all domestic cane and beet sugar marketed for human consumption in the United States from Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026.

A full table listing the fiscal year 2026 revised beet and cane allotments and allocations can be found in the Federal Register notice.
