  • Sugar Prices Remain Unchanged in Maharashtra as Exports Decline

    Sugar ex-mill domestic prices have fallen in Maharashtra in recent days, raising concerns for the industry. Many industry insiders attribute the state's prices hovering at Rs 3,100-3,150/quintal to export saturation and the entry of unaccounted-for sugar into the market. The 2022-23 cane crushing season began on a high note, with domestic ex-mill prices ranging from Rs 3,300 to Rs 3,400 per quintal. International raw sugar prices were above the psychological barrier of 20 cents per pound (roughly Rs 3,500-3.550/quintal). This season, the Centre reinstated the mill-based quota system for the export of 60 lakh tonnes of sugar.
