Domestic Market
Weak sentiment reported in major centers
Sugar prices were reported to be low due to weak demand. Prices in the major markets fell by Rs 10-20 per quintal. Prices ranged from Rs 3,450 to Rs 3,480 in Kolhapur (S grade), and from Rs 3,650 to Rs 3,680 in Muzaffarnagar (M grade). However, below-normal rainfall activity is likely to limit price declines, as rains in major cane growing districts of Maharashtra are reported to be 70-95% lower, impacting standing crops.
Due to weather concerns in major growing states, Agrimandi.live expects prices to trade stable to firm. Prices in the Kolhapur markets are expected to trade near Rs 3,500/3,520 per quintal in the near future, with a support level of Rs 3,390 per quintal.
