Domestic sugar prices saw a steady to positive sentiment
Sugar prices in the Kolhapur market rose further due to limited sugar supply. Prices in other markets were reported to be stable, and demand was reported to be strong ahead of the holiday season. Prices at Kolhapur markets were reported to be higher by Rs 10 per quintal.
In Kolhapur, S-grade sugar is priced between Rs 3,500 and Rs 3,540, while M-grade sugar in Uttar Pradesh is priced between Rs 3,660 and Rs 3,700. According to Agrimandi.live, the price of S grade is expected to trade in the Kolhapur markets between Rs 3,500 and Rs 3,580 per quintal in the near future.
Even though the Tender prices are increasing and are at the higher end, the demand in the market is low and hence the prices are stable.
