India sees significant decline in sugar production
India's sugar industry is witnessing a notable decline in production for the ongoing sugar season year 2025 (SSY25), with overall output expected to fall below 27 million tonnes, a sharp drop from 31.8 million tonnes last year, according to a report by Centrum.
It is reported by zeebiz.
As of February 15, 2025, sugar production stands at 19.77 MMT, reflecting a 12 per cent decline compared to the same period in the previous season. This downturn is mainly due to higher sugar diverted for ethanol production, reduced cane availability, and lower recovery levels.
