菲律宾在全世界糖的生产和出口中起着显著作用。就其产量来说,菲律宾居世界第十一位,是五个最大的糖输出口国之一。 菲律宾生产的糖,国内市场的销售量较少,每年不到六十万吨。按人口计算,菲律宾糖的消费量比工业发达的资本主义国家要低得多,其中只达到英国和澳大利亚的三分之一。 The Philippines plays a significant role in the production and export of sugar throughout the world. For its output, the Philippines ranks 11th in the world and is one of the 5 largest sugar exporters. The sugar produced in the Philippines, with less sales in the domestic market, is less than 600,000 tons per year. By population, the consumption of sugar in the Philippines is much lower than in the industrially developed capitalist countries, only to one-third of the United Kingdom and Australia.
