Steady sentiment reported in domestic Sugar prices
Domestic sugar prices were reported to be stable after a weak session. Demand is reported to be subdued as major buyers are looking for hand to mouth on the back of increased sugar production. Indian sugar production is expected to reach 32 MMT due to higher production in Maharashtra and Karnataka than previously expected.
According to reports, S-grade sugar in Kolhapur costs between Rs 3,420 and Rs 3,460 per quintal, whereas M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar costs between Rs 3,730 and Rs 3,790. According to Agrimandi, the cost of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market is expected to range between Rs 3,400 and Rs 3,550 per quintal in the coming two weeks.
