Sugar Regulatory Administration
The Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA; Filipino: Pangasiwaan sa Regulasyon ng Asukal; Hiligaynon: Administrasyon sa Regulasyon sang Kalamay) is a government-owned and controlled corporation attached to the Department of Agriculture of the Philippines that is responsible for promoting the growth and development of the sugar industry of the Philippines through greater participation of the private sector and to improve the working conditions of the sugarcane farmers and laborers.
On September 16, 1937, the National Assembly authorized the Philippine Commonwealth president to create the Philippine Sugar Administration (PSA) by virtue of Executive Order No. 118.
The sugar industry was heavily damaged during World War II, but reconstruction efforts commenced after the war. Of the 47 mills operating prior to the conflict, only 25 were successfully rebuilt.
After the Philippine independence in 1946, the office was renamed in 1951 the Sugar Quota Administration (SQA). The office undertook the allocation and administration of export, domestic reserve and world sugar quota, issuances of quedan permits, and verifying and recording transfers or assignments of allotments.
In order to improve productivity, the Philippine Sugar Institute (PHILSUGIN) was created on June 16, 1951, under Republic Act 632. The agency was tasked to conduct research work for the sugar industry in all its phases, agricultural and industrial.
Early in the 1960s, relationships between the United States and Cuba—one of the top sugar-producing countries of the world—became strained after the communist revolution in Cuba. This proved favorable for the Philippines and the other sugar-exporting countries as policies for expansion were issued to the mills and has opened greater areas for sugar cane planting.
In 1977, the Philippine Sugar Commission (PHILSUCOM) was created by virtue of P.D. No. 388 to further bolster the revitalization of the sugar industry. It was amended by P.D. 775 and 1192. The decree integrated the functions of PHILSUGIN, SQA and PNB Philex.
The National Sugar Trading Corporation (NASUTRA), an affiliate of PHILSUCOM was then established for the purpose of reinvigorating the industry as a result of the slump brought about by the cancellation of US sugar quota system.
