The RV price payable at the end of April 2026 for 2026/2027 season cane deliveries up to the end of March 2026 has been declared at R6,675.41 per ton. This marks a decrease of R810.69 per ton compared to the final declared RV price of R7,486.09 per ton for the 2025/2026 season.

The decline was mainly attributed to a downward revision of the Local Market Demand Estimate (LMDE) by 176,743 tons, which reduced local market proceeds by approximately R2.5 billion. The stronger LMDE recorded during the 2025/2026 season was largely influenced by the reintroduction of carry-over tonnages.For full RV price reports : https://sa-fda.org.za/rv-price/
