India’s sugar output touches 32.11 MT in October-April: ISMA

06 May 2019 Evaluate

The industry body, Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has said that the country’s sugar output reached 32.11 million tonnes (MT) in the first seven months (October-April) of the ongoing marketing year that started October 2018. It added that the total production could touch a new record of 33 MT. It said much of the sugar has already been manufactured and only a few mills are in operation at present. Besides, India’s sugar output during the 2017-18 marketing year (October-September) was a record 32.5 MT, while the annual domestic requirement of India is only 26 MT.

As per the ISMA data, mills have manufactured 32.11 MT of sugar between October 2018 and April 2019. Only 100 mills were in operation as on April 30. The country's top three sugar producing states -- Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka -- have produced 11.26 MT, 10.7 MT and 4.32 MT, respectively, during the October-April period of the 2018-19 marketing year.

The industry body said even though the quantum of sugarcane crushing in the current year is less than that in the last year, the sugar production in 2018-19 will be marginally more than last year. Sugar recovery in northern India has been substantially better than last year. In the other parts of the country, including Maharashtra and Karnataka also, the sugar recovery is better than last year, though not as high as it achieved in north India. Therefore, it projected that the sugar production in the current year for the whole country is expected to be around 33 MT, about 5,00,000 tonnes more than last year.

ISMA said the sugar stocks at the end of the 2018-19 marketing year would be at a higher level at around 14.7 MT taking into account the opening balance of 10.7 MT as on October 1, 2018, and estimated record output of 33 MT and domestic demand of 26 MT as well as export of 3 MT. The industry body also indicated that sugar output in the 2019-20 marketing year is likely to decline on lower sugarcane output due to lack of rains in key growing state Maharashtra and diversion to ethanol production.
