**Understanding Stakeholder Feedback: Insights from the 2025 Engagement Exercise and 2024 Consultation on Raw Cane Sugar ATQ**

In today’s rapidly evolving market, it is essential for industries to not only adapt to change but also to engage with stakeholders to understand their perspectives. The recent engagement exercise conducted in 2025, alongside the 2024 consultation on the future of the raw cane sugar Absolute Quota (ATQ), has illuminated key sentiments and areas of concern from various stakeholders.

The responses received from this engagement have highlighted several crucial themes regarding the governance and regulation of raw cane sugar imports. Many stakeholders expressed a strong preference for a transparent and consultative approach when it comes to policy formulation. This sentiment is rooted in the desire for more inclusive decision-making processes that take into account the diverse needs and challenges faced by different segments of the sugar industry—from producers to distributors.

Concerns were raised regarding the implications of current quota structures and their impact on market competition. Several producers voiced apprehensions about the sustainability of their businesses under the existing ATQ framework, suggesting that a reevaluation of quota allocations could better accommodate emerging market dynamics and foster a more level playing field. Stakeholders emphasised the necessity for adaptable policies that can respond to external economic pressures, including fluctuating global sugar prices and international trade agreements.

Furthermore, the engagement responses underscored the importance of environmental sustainability. Numerous stakeholders highlighted the need for the sugar industry to align with broader climate goals. There is a clear call for integrating sustainability metrics into the future considerations of ATQ, ensuring that policies not only support economic viability but also promote environmentally responsible practices.

Another significant aspect raised during these consultations was the concern for maintaining high-quality standards in sugar production and trade. Stakeholders advocated for the establishment of rigorous quality control measures that would enhance consumer trust and ensure that the raw cane sugar imported meets the highest standards of safety and quality.

In summary, the insights from the 2025 engagement exercise and 2024 consultation illustrate a landscape of both challenges and opportunities. Stakeholder feedback urges policymakers to adopt a more participatory approach, consider the economic viability and sustainability of the raw cane sugar sector, and prioritise quality standards. As we move forward, it is imperative that these voices are not only heard but also integrated into the fabric of decision-making processes that will shape the future of the raw cane sugar industry.
