USDA DETERMINES SUGAR MARKETING ALLOTMENT UNNECESSARY FOR 1994 FY 2ND QUARTER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4--The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced that sugar marketing allotments for domestic sugar will not be established during the second quarter of Fiscal Year 1994.

This determination is based on December estimates of the U.S. sugar situation and outlook for FY 1994. Re-estimates of the fiscal year sugar supply and distribution will be made quarterly to determine if marketing allotments are to be established later in the fiscal year.
