ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 10th Dec 2024
Domestic Market
Weak sentiment continued in domestic sugar prices
Domestic sugar prices in major markets were continued their down trend on dull demand. Prices in Uttar Pradesh were fell by Rs 10 per quintal while Maharashtra and Karnataka saw a fall of Rs 20 per quintal. Prices have dropped by Rs 200-250 per quintal from their recent peak, primarily due to a lack of demand due to ongoing crushing activity. Demand remains weak despite the price fall, with buyers remaining need-based since the start of crushing activity across the states. Almost all mills are operational in Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh, and over 150 have begun crushing operations in Maharashtra, which should keep prices in check. Due to limited cane availability in Maharashtra, it is likely that fewer mills will operate this season.
S-grade sugar in Kolhapur costs Rs 3,320-3,370 per quintal, whereas M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar costs Rs 3,660-3,700. Agrimandi.live predicts that the price of Kolhapur S-grade sugar will range from Rs 3,300 to Rs 3,400 per quintal in the near future.
