FY 2026 Overall Allotment Quantity Establishment The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, requires USDA to establish the OAQ at a quantity not less than 85 percent of the estimated quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for the crop year. USDA is establishing the initial FY 2026 (crop year 2025) OAQ at 10,166,000 STRV, equal to 85 percent of 11,960,000 STRV, the estimated quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for FY 2026 as forecast in the September 2025 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Per the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, 54.35 percent of the OAQ is distributed among beet processors and 45.65 percent is distributed among the sugarcane States and cane processors, with the beet and cane sector allotments distributed to individual processors according to formulas set out in law. 1 Although the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, directs USDA to assign 325,000 STRV of the cane sector allotment to “offshore States,” CCC has determined that while sugarcane was formerly produced in Puerto Rico and Hawaii, both have permanently exited sugarcane production. As a result, CCC has allocated the 325,000 STRV of the cane sector allotment previously reserved for offshore States to the mainland sugarcane producing States. Additionally, because no sugarcane crop is forecast to be produced in Texas during FY26 (crop year 2025), the Texas portion of the mainland sugarcane allotment is distributed to other mainland sugarcane producing states. The initial FY 2026 sugar marketing State allotments and processor allocations are listed in the table below. 1 *See* 7 U.S.C. 1359aa *et seq.,* and 7 CFR part 1435.
