The Food Ministry has fixed sugar sale quota and said that sugar mills can sell 18 lakh tonnes of sugar in the open market during April. As per the notification, 545 mills have been allocated 18 lakh tonnes of sugar for sale in the next month. The quota was same in the year-ago period.
India's sugar output is pegged 18% down at 27.3 million tonnes (MT) in the ongoing 2019-20 season (October-September) on fall in sugarcane output in key growing states. Mills have produced more than 20 MT till now.
The decline in sugar production is due to fall in the production of sugarcane mainly in the major sugar-producing states of Maharashtra and Karnataka, due to drought in some parts and heavy rains and floods in some other parts of these states.
