Domestic sugar prices continue to fall
Sugar prices in the major domestic markets have been reported to be lower due to weak demand. According to reports, prices per quintal in Uttar Pradesh have dropped another Rs 10. Buyers prefer hand to mouth because prices are expected to remain low due to the ongoing crushing season.
S-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,600 and Rs 3,650 per quintal in Kolhapur, whereas M-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,920 and Rs 3,980. According to Agrimandi, S grade sugar will trade in Kolhapur markets for between Rs 3,600 and Rs 3,720 over the next two weeks.
