Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices continued to fall
Domestic sugar prices in the major markets continued to fall due to weak demand at higher price levels. Prices have corrected almost by Rs 40-50 per quintal from their recent high. Prices were reported to be Rs 10 per quintal lower in the major markets.
There were reports of much-needed rains in the major cane-growing regions of North Karnataka and West Maharashtra. These rains are likely to help revive crop conditions, as the region was experiencing severe drought and crops were stressed.
In Muzaffarnagar, M-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,860 and Rs 3,880 per quintal, whereas S-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,510 and Rs 3,550. Agrimandi expects the price of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market to fall to between Rs 3,460 and Rs 3,580 per quintal within the next two weeks.
