Sugar Regulatory Administration chief Hermenegildo Serafica(Screengrab of DA virtual briefer) MANILA - The plan of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to import refined sugar is on hold due to two temporary restraining orders (TROs) obtained by sugar farmers associations in the Visayas. SRA Administrator Hermenegildo Serafica said in a virtual briefer on Tuesday importation is the best way to deal with the effects of Typhoon Odette, which destroyed mostly parts of Visayas and Mindanao in December 2021. Sugar Order No. 3 that was supposed to be implemented in March will ensure that the beverage and confectionary industry will not lack supply to manufacture their products, Serafica added. Industrial users will purchase from the 200,000 metric tons (MT) to be imported 100,000 MT bottler's grade refined sugar used by beverage companies while the other 100,000 MT standard refined sugar will be for food processors, such as confectionary maker
