Our Journey: Uniting India’s Sugar Value Chain

On January 17, 2016, India’s sugar sector witnessed a pivotal moment as traders, millers, refiners, bulk consumers, trade houses, and service providers came together to address shared challenges and opportunities. Despite common goals, it was evident that the industry lacked a unified platform representing every voice across the sugar value chain. That day, the All India Sugar Trade Association (AISTA) was born to bridge this gap.
