Sugar Price Boost Approved as OPA Sets Higher Retail Rates
The OPA announced a two cent per pound rise in retail sugar prices, effective after current stocks sell, adding about $200 million to annual food bills. Earlier, producers face a 10 cent rise domestically and 1.73 cents to Cuban growers. The Agriculture Department forecasts continued tighter supplies next year, citing larger U S beet acreage and increased Cuba Puerto Rico cane output. The increase aligns with a buying agreement between the Commodity Credit Corp and Cuba for 1946 and 1947 Cuban raw sugar crops.
