ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 23rd January 2024
Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices continued to trade weak
Sugar prices were reported to be down another Rs 5-10 per quintal in the major markets due to low demand. The price drop is greater in Uttar Pradesh than in other centers. Sugar production in Uttar Pradesh is expected to remain higher year on year, which will put pressure on prices in the coming days.
In Muzaffarnagar, M-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,750 and Rs 3,820 per quintal, whereas in Kolhapur, S-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,480 and Rs 3,550. Agrimandi forecasts that S grade sugar in Kolhapur markets will trade between Rs 3,450 and Rs 3,560 per quintal over the next two weeks.
