The SA Canegrowers Association warns that the sugar tax, or health promotion levy, has reduced demand and is a major threat to sustainable growth

SA’s sugar industry, which has been on the verge of collapse in recent years, is seeing a glimmer of hope for recovery, but has warned that the sugar tax or health promotion levy, which has reduced demand, is a major threat to sustainable growth.

“We also need to address growing threats such as the industry’s declining milling capacity. This work will continue in 2022 and will hopefully pave the way for a better future,” he said. The sugar industry has said the levy has cost it in excess of R1.5bn since its implementation, with more than 16,000 jobs lost.
