菲律宾的糖厂可能会推迟到10月1日开始糖磨季节, Philippine sugar mills may delay sugar milling season start to Oct 1 due to El Niño affecting sugarcane crops.

由于厄尔尼诺现象对甘蔗作物的不利影响,菲律宾糖米勒协会和糖管局正在考虑将糖厂季节的开始推迟两周,延至10月1日。 The Philippine Sugar Millers Association (PSMA) and Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) are considering a two-week delay in the start of the sugar milling season to October 1, due to El Niño's negative impact on sugarcane crops. 推迟碾磨的潜在好处包括提高甘蔗成熟度和可能提高产量。 The potential benefits of delaying milling include better cane maturity and potentially higher yields. 这是在SRA建议磨坊于9月15日开始磨坊之后发生的,但最近的来文表明,所有磨坊都有一个统一的开工日期。 This comes after the SRA advised mills to start milling on September 15, but recent communications suggest a uniform start date for all mills.
