After Ban on Export of Rice, India to Impose Curbs on Sugar? | Explained

After India banned export of non-basmati rice to control prices, there is a growing speculation that there would be a similar curb on sugar exports.

The concerns over a ban on export of the sweetener have been there since April amid a decline in production. The uneven rainfall across India’s agricultural belts have stoked concerns that sugar production will fall short, dropping for a second straight year, Bloomberg reported.

The shortage in output will limit the country’s ability to export. The government has already restricted overseas sale of wheat and some rice varieties giving clear signal that it is concerned about inflation and food prices.

Declining Sugar Output

 

Sugarcane growing states like Maharashtra and Karnataka didn’t receive adequate rainfall in June leading to crop stress, Aditya Jhunjhunwala, president of the Indian Sugar Mills Association said.

Pune, a sugar hub in Maharashtra, is facing a water crisis due to inadequate rains and the shortage of water is expected to affect the growth of sugarcane. 

Though the sugar output has dropped by 3.4 percent from last year, the supply is expected to meet the domestic demand.

India is also set to use more sugar for biofuel and farm groups say that the mills could divert 4.5 million tonnes to make ethanol, around 10 percent more than the last year.

Sugar makes sense. It takes more than year from sowing to harvesting sugar cane and one bad or low rainfall season and we have to wait for another year for the next chance.
