Sugar prices have been reported to be stable in the major domestic markets. Prices are said to be stable following a weak session. Prices have dropped by nearly 100-120 per quintal since the start of the crushing season. Buyers prefer hand to mouth because the current crushing season is expected to keep prices low.
