Domestic sugar continue to trade stable
Domestic sugar prices in major markets were said to be stable following a mixed session yesterday. However, with a higher monthly quota, they are likely to face additional pressure in the coming days. Furthermore, demand in the major markets is expected to be weak, putting prices under pressure.
In Muzaffarnagar, M-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,770 and Rs 3,800 per quintal, whereas S-grade sugar is expected to cost between Rs 3,420 and Rs 3,450. Agrimandi expects the price of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market to fall to between Rs 3,380 and Rs 3,460 per quintal within the next two weeks.
