The All India Sugar Trade Association (AISTA) in its report stated that sugar mills have exported 9.39 lakh tonnes of the sweetener till the first week of December during the ongoing 2021-22 marketing year that started from October 1, and are not in hurry to sell further stock in view of sluggish global price trend. It added that about 4.68 lakh tonnes of sugar is in transit.
As per the report, mills have contracted to export 33 lakh tonnes of sugar without the government subsidy so far in the 2021-22 marketing year. The sugar marketing year runs from October to September. Sugar exports this year are being undertaken without the government subsidy. According to AISTA, mills have exported a total of 9,39,435 tonnes of sugar from October 1 to December 6, 2021.
AISTA said ‘Indian mills are not in a hurry to sell sugar as previous sales are yet to be executed. Also, they do not like the current global prices, which shall have to move up to attract more Indian sales’. It added the highest export deals have been undertaken by mills in Maharashtra. Mills in this state are facing huge logistics problems. As such, there are acute transportation problems both by railways and road. During the marketing year 2020-21, the country had exported a record 7.23 million tonnes of the sweetener. The maximum shipments were undertaken with the help of government subsidy.
