Sugar cane demand poised to rocket
Bangkok Post
|March 18, 2026
The Office of the Cane and Sugar Board (OCSB) expects purchases of sugar cane leaves to more than double this year as Thailand reduces its reliance on liquefied natural gas imports, shipments of which have been disrupted by war in the Middle East.
Biomass made from sugar cane leaves can be used to fuel power plants. This alternative fuel has the potential to help Thailand reduce dependence on natural gas.
Sugar cane leaves, often discarded after harvest, can be converted into biomass fuel for power plants.
Thailand is dependent on natural gas for electricity generation and is seeking alternatives to strengthen energy security.
According to Bainoi Suwanchatri, secretary-general of the OCSB, purchases of sugar cane leaves are expected to rise from 2.14 million tonnes in the 2025-26 crop year to 5 million tonnes in 2026-27.
