SUBJECT: SWAZILAND TO USE FY 2010 SUGAR QUOTA

REF: A) SECSTATE 12843; B) 09 MBABANE 294

Per ref (A) instruction, post contacted the Swaziland Sugar
Association (SSA),Swaziland's official authority governing sugar
exports, on February 16, 2010, for an update on the SSN's intentions
to use the FY 2010 U.S. sugar quota. According to Simon Sibisi,
SSA's officer who has received the quotas from post in the past, the
SSA now intends to ship approximately 15,700 mt of sugar to the
United States, plus any reallocation sugar that can be accommodated
by the carrying vessel, around August, for arrival by end of
September 2010. Sibisi's information marks a change to SSA's
October 2009 position (ref B).
