Sugar mills can sell 2.1 MT of sugar in open market in May: Food Ministry

02 May 2019 Evaluate

The Food Ministry has stated that 534 sugar mills in India can sell 2.1 million tonne (MT) of the sweetener in the open market in May 2019, higher than the April quota of 1.8 MT. The quota also includes additional quantity given as incentive to mills for achieving more than 75% of their export target and also for producing ethanol from B-heavy molasses instead of sugar.

It added that any violation of this order would attract penal provisions under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. The wholesale sugar prices have remained sluggish and in fact below the cost of production throughout the year because of surplus domestic production.

Meanwhile, the government has raised its sugar production estimate for 2018-19 (October-September) to a record 32.5 MT from 31.5 MT estimated in March, similar to what was achieved in the previous year. The production is expected to be higher than the annual domestic requirement of 25-26 MT.
