Reuters reported that USDA has no plans to increase the sugar tariff rate quota (TRQ) for a second time. In an interview, Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack told the news agency that if more information comes in that suggests that the supply is not adequate he will take a look at it. USDA increased the TRQ by 200,000 tons in late April. In an unprecedented move both the ASA, which represents sugar producers, and the SUA, which represents sugar users, sent letters to USDA expressing concern over the Department\'s reporting of sugar consumption. The ASA said that \"we are troubled to note the apparent disagreement among the agencies regarding some deliveries data reporting problems. This is creating greater uncertainty in the marketplace. It asked that USDA make it a priority to resolve the data problems.\"
