Viet Nam Sugar cane and Sugar Association (VSSA) has proposed that the
Prime Minister allows importing raw sugar instead of refined sugar to
save foreign currency for the 2016-17 crop.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has proposed
to the Ministry of Industry and Trade that while allocating sugar import
quotas, priority should be accorded to factories which imported raw
sugar for refining amid an anticipated excess supply.
