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.

Why UK exporters are set for a sugar rush

The UK's sugar beet industry is looking to ramp up production, as European Union quotas come to an end this week after nearly 50 years. For the first time since 1968 the UK can produce and sell as much sugar around the world as it would like. The end of the quota also means that French, German and other EU producers can sell more sugar into the UK. Experts predict that could result in lower prices - but the British industry is confident it can compete.
