Mexico can meet U.S. needs in sugar deal, export 1.4 million tons in 2014: source

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico will have guaranteed export access to meet 100 pct of U.S. sugar import needs under a new draft agreement, and in 2014 can send over 1.4 million tonnes of sugar to the United States, a source close to the negotiations said on Monday. Mexico and the United States earlier reached a preliminary deal to avert potentially steep duties on Mexican sugar imports to the United States in talks that went down to the last minute.
