National Federation of Sugarcane Planters Inc. (NFSP) president Enrique D. Rojas said planters who are quedan holders should be authorized to export their "B" sugar at the height of the milling season to ensure that the domestic market is not flooded with excess supply which often depresses sugar prices.
