ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 19th January 2024
Domestic Market
Sugar prices were said to be stable in the major markets due to low demand in the second session. The current crushing season has also put pressure on major spot market prices. Mills continue to operate despite the threat of early closure, which is expected to affect prices in the medium term.
Muzaffarnagar’s M-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,770 and Rs 3,830 per quintal, while Kolhapur’s S-grade sugar costs between Rs 3,500 and Rs 3,560. Agrimandi.live expects S grade sugar in Kolhapur markets to trade between Rs 3,480 and Rs 3,600 per quintal in the next two weeks.
