Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI) suspended operations on a day-to-day basis in at least four plants due to the sugar shortage.
According to CCBPI corporate and regulatory affairs director Juan Lorenzo Tañada, the plants are located in Imus, Naga City, Davao, and Zamboanga.
Workers in these plants continue to receive their salaries without working.
Coca-Cola said the local soft drink industry needs at least 450,000 metric tons of premium refined bottle grade sugar to utilize its full manufacturing capacity for the rest of 2022.
