Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices were mostly stable
After a sharp increase, sugar prices in the major markets of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra were reported to be stable. Crushing is started in Uttar Pradesh, as 8-10 mills have started operations, but in Maharashtra and Karnataka, crushing is likely to start from mid-November. Demand is said to be dull, and quota was reported at 22 lakh tons, lower by 1.0 lakh tons compared to the same month the previous year and 3.5 lakh tons lower than last month. As prices were trading lower, the Food Ministry is allocated the less quota for the month of November.
The price of M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar ranges from Rs 3,870 to Rs 3,920 per quintal, whereas S-grade sugar in Kolhapur is priced between Rs 3,510 and Rs 3,580. Agrimandi.live anticipates that S-grade sugar prices in Kolhapur will range from Rs 3,500 to Rs 3,620 per quintal in the near future.
