According to Indian Sugar Millers Association (ISMA), on the export front, mills are facing problems of shortage of trucks and containers as well as adequate availability of vessels at the ports, which have already been taken up with the Government and the concerned authorities. We hope for an early solution to these problems, especially as around 32 lakh tons of export contracts have been entered into at the end of Feb’2021.
However, the pro – active step taken by Vishakhapatnam Port Trust for provision of priority berthing of vessels intending to load export sugar is quite encouraging. ISMA is hopeful that other ports will also come up with such preference for sugar exports.
