United States Sugar Market Overview
The United States is one of the world's largest sugar consumers. Imports from Thailand are limited by the USDA Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) system, but organic and specialty sugars (which fall outside TRQ) represent a strong opportunity for Thai exporters. Food manufacturers, private label brands, and natural-foods distributors source Thai organic cane sugar for its certification and price advantages over Brazilian or domestic beet sugar.
Thai organic and specialty sugar exports to the US grow each year as natural and private-label food brands seek consistent non-GMO cane supply outside TRQ constraints.
