Domestic sugar prices continue to trade higher
Domestic sugar prices are expected to hold firm in the major markets for the second session due to strong demand. Prices have risen by Rs 15-20 per quintal in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. At current prices, demand is said to be high. Lower monthly quotas in Uttar Pradesh and faster mill closures in Maharashtra are helping to keep prices stable.
M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar trades in the range of Rs 3,760 and Rs 3,800 per quintal, while S-grade sugar in Kolhapur is estimated to cost between Rs 3,440 and Rs 3,480. Agrimandi predicts that the price of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market will fall to between Rs 3,400 and Rs 3,480 per quintal within the next two weeks. However, prices per quintal are said to range between Rs 3,330 and Rs 3,380 in Solapur.
