Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the sustainability and growth of patupat and muscovado sugar enterprises in Bannawag Santiago City. This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design to assess the sustainable practices and financial growth of Patupat and Muscovado sugar producers in Bannawag Norte, Santiago City. Using total enumeration, all 11 local producers served as respondents. Data were collected through a validated, reliable survey and semi-structured interviews, with additional insights from archival analysis. Conducted in the area known for sugarcane farming, the study used descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to interpret findings. Findings revealed that producers implement sustainable practices by using organic fertilizers and repurposing sugarcane remnants, while also contributing to local employment. Financially, they demonstrated growth in profitability, liquidity, and solvency, with optimism about business continuity. However, the study found no significant relationship between sustainable practices and financial growth. Producers also faced challenges such as competition, rising production costs, and seasonal fluctuations impacting their operations.
