An official of the NFA said Congress incorporated in the NFA’s budget proposal for 2001, an item for the shipment of some 54,000 metric tons representing the minimum access volume (MAV) for sugar.


"Congress included the MAV in our proposed Sugar Stabilization Fund (SSF), and usually, approval of the SSF also means an automatic approval of the MAV," the NFA official said.
