Domestic Market
Sugar prices are said to be stable.
Domestic sugar prices were reported to have stabilized after trading lower for 2-3 sessions. According to reports, prices are weighing due to subdued demand in all major markets, as crushing is progressing well in comparison to market expectations. Crushing is going well across the country, with only four mills closing operations in Maharashtra when compared to six during last season.
According to reports, the price of S-grade sugar in Kolhapur ranged between Rs 3,440 and Rs 3,500 per quintal, whereas M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar was priced between Rs 3,740 and Rs 3,800. According to Agrimandi, the cost of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market is expected to range between Rs 3,400 and Rs 3,550 per quintal in the coming two weeks. Prices in Solapur, however, were reported to be between Rs 3,380 and Rs 3,420 per quintal.
