Sugar prices continue to fall
Domestic sugar prices continued to fall, dropped by another Rs 10-20 per quintal across the centers. ISMA recently updated the sugar ending stocks totaling 9.1 MMT for the ending season, which is weighing on the prices. In addition, favorable rainfall activity was reported, which would put pressure on sugar prices as crop conditions improved in South India and Maharashtra.
The price range for S-grade sugar in Kolhapur is Rs 3,540-3,580 per quintal, whereas the price range for M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar is Rs 3,780-3,800 per quintal. Agrimandi predicts that the price of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market will decrease over the next two weeks, to a range of Rs 3,520 to Rs 3,660 per quintal.
