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.

Govt sees 24% jump in sugar output to 25 mn tonnes in 2017-18

The government is expecting about 24 per cent increase in the country's total sugar output to around 25 million tonnes in the marketing year beginning next month on likely higher output in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra following good rains, an official source said. This is an initial projection based on the inputs of the state governments. The estimate, however, is in line with the industry body ISMA's projection.

Delay in monsoon’s retreat postpones sugarcane crushing

Owing to a sugar shortage in the country, the government had planned to start the crushing of sugarcane ahead of the normal schedule -- before Diwali (October 19) -- but the delay in the monsoon's retreat has put paid to this plan. According to the sugar industry, heavy rains are again expected in October in Karnataka and Maharashtra states where the cane crushing starts first -- due to the lingering monsoon. It means laborers cannot access the cane fields as they will be muddy during this period.
