Louisiana now top sugar producing state, American Sugar Cane League presents awards
The Louisiana sugar cane industry produced more than 2 million tons of raw sugar for the first time ever in 2022 and is now the top sugar producing state in the U.S.
Jim Simon, director of the American Sugar Cane League, said more than 17.1 million tons of cane was ground at Louisiana mills to produce 2.05 million tons of raw sugar. Three of the state’s 11 sugar mills ground more than 2 million tons of cane each.
Sugar cane acreage has steadily increased over the past decade. There were 480,000 acres of sugar cane grown last year, an increase of 102,000 acres since 2015.
The American Sugar Cane League also installed a new slate of officers and directors. Bryan Simon, of Abbeville, was elected president and David Thibodeaux, of Jeanerette, was chosen as vice president. Gary Gravois, of Napoleonville, will serve as secretary and Ben LeBlanc, of Thibodaux, will be treasurer. Newly elected board members are cane producer Ted Broussard, of Jeanerette, and land manager Drew Maciasz, of Port Allen.
Outgoing president Randy Romero, of Jeanerette, honored Wallace “Dickie” Ellender, of Bourg, with the President’s Award, the league’s highest honor for his 20-plus years of service to the organization and a lifetime of service to the sugar cane industry.
Departing board members Clint Freyou, of Jeanerette, and Jessie Breaux, of Franklin, were also honored for their service to the league.
