Actions under Foodstock Flexibility Program Not Expected For Fiscal 2018

No purchases of sugar under the Feedstock Flexibility Program (FFP) are expected for Fiscal 2018, according to the USDA Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), based on current crop and consumption forecasts. CCC is required to make the determination each quarter. FFP is aimed at avoiding forfeitures of sugar placed under loan and USDA's current forecasts are that ending stocks are unlikely to lead to any forfeitures. The next quarterly estimate on FFP will occur on or before April 1, 2018.
