The Jamaica Country Strategy for the Adaptation of the Sugar Industry 2006-2020 (JCS II) stems from a review of the initial strategy covering 2006-2015 (JCS I) in 2009.

JCS (II) takes the reform of the Sugar Cane sector through to 2020 in line with the perspective of other major policy initiatives in Jamaica, continuing, on the one hand, the transformation of the industry into a fully private internationally competitive sector and, on the other, the development of the sugar dependent areas into economically and socially vibrant and less vulnerable communities. Of note is the fact that this new strategy starts from the premise that the Sugar Cane industry is a viable alternative to other industries that have been underperforming or in decline.
