PCCI Agriculture Committee chair Paul Cuyegkeng said the proposal will “strike a balance between the needs of farmers, millers, and food manufacturers”, which majority are micro, small and medium enterprises .

In a statement last month, the PCCI said world market prices of sugar range from PHP32 to PHP35 per kilogram, lower than the PHP85 to PHP115 per kilogram price range in the domestic market in August.
