Specifically:
* **February 2018:** The stock should not be less than 83% of the final stock on January 31, 2018, plus the sugar produced in February 2018, minus sugar exported during that month.
* **March 2018:** The stock should not be less than 86% of the final stock on February 28, 2018, plus the sugar produced in March 2018, minus sugar exported during that month.
