The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade is preparing to receive the 2025 sugarcane harvest season, targeting the purchase of about 6 million tons of the cane crop to produce local sugar. The local sugar production season will start next January, and companies affiliated with the Ministry of Supply will begin receiving the cane crop from farmers within days, while the sugar beet crop will be supplied in February 2025. The Ministry of Supply aims to produce about 650,000 tons of local sugar during the next season 2025, to reduce the gap between production and consumption.

Dr. Ayman Al-Ash, Director of the Sugar Crops Institute at the Ministry of Agriculture, revealed the details of the project to develop irrigation for sugarcane crops from the flooding system to seedlings and the benefits of the project on the economy and the agricultural sector, following the Ministry of Agriculture’s announcement of the launch of the project early this week.
