Experts predict bumper sugar harvest for 2021 Article by February 27, 2021 Favourable rainfall and improved yields have led experts to predict that the 2021 sugar harvest will produce more than it did last year. With the season set to commence on March 1, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Indar Weir told members of the media during a press conference at Wakefield, St John this morning, that it has been projected that 107 000 tonnes of sugar cane yields would be produced this year, 17 more than the 90 000 tonnes reaped in 2020. “We have produced 7 200 tones of sugar and we are deliberately reducing that now to 5 200 to satisfy the domestic consumption and then for export to the United States,” Weir said.
