177. The South African Sugar Association shall in respect of each year determine the quantities of sugar required for the local market, including carry over stocks, and for the export market, respectively, and shall allocate to each mill, including a sugar beet mill, a quota of each such quantity. Quotas so allocated to each mill shall be allocated separately in respect of local market refined sugar and local market brown sugar, on the one hand, and to export sugar on the other hand, and shall be determined for each such category, as may be applicable in each year in the proportion which each mill's total saleable production of sugar bears to the total quantity of saleable sugar produced by all mills, including sugar beet mills.

 

178. In respect of each year the quantity of sugar required in respect of carry over stocks, shall be allocated proportionately to the respective mills in relation to their sales on the local market (excluding carry over stocks) in that year. Each mill will sell to the South African Sugar Association, which will be obliged to buy, the proportion so allocated to it.
