The central government is likely to allow an additional 1.2 million tonnes (MT) of sugar exports in the current season ending September 2022 taking into account higher-than-anticipated domestic production. This additional quota would be over and above 10 MT of sugar exports allowed for the current 2021-22 season.
A group of ministers in a recent meeting approved the additional quota of sugar exports. A notification in this regard will be issued soon. The nodal Food Ministry is working on modalities to allocate the additional quota. The country’s total sugar production is likely to increase by 5,00,000 tonnes to 36 million tonnes in the 2021-22 season, compared to the earlier estimate of 35.5 million tonnes.
Even after the export of an additional quota of sugar, the country would be left with around 6-6.8 MT of closing stocks. Mills have exported 9.97 MT of sugar so far in the ongoing 2021-22 season to countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, UAE, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Somalia and others.
