India exported 650,000-700,000 tonnes of sugar between January 20 to mid -July and the second largest producer in the world can send more if global white sugar prices increase from the current low levels of $ 484 per ton, according to traders.
The sweetener was exported to Somalia, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Djibouts, Sae, Libya and Tanzania after the center of January 20 allowed the export of one million tonnes.
“On the international market (London), white sugar prices touched $ 2555 per tonne 25 February. However, it is currently around $ 484 per tonne for an improved global offer. Domestic sugar prices are fixed compared to the international market, approximately $ 430-450 per tonnes.” She reported an analysis of $ 430-450.
The Ministry of Food has allowed more than 500 sugar mills a uniform export quota with more than 3% of their three -year average production, which they can export directly or through merchants.
Probably other volumes
“While the current white sugar prices in London are low, other volumes could still be exported if the global market conditions have become favorable and offered the flexibility of exporters to use available allocations. We expect about 800,000 tonnes (ISMA) to be exported by the end of September.
According to ISM, since mid -July 2025, 6.5-700,000 tonnes of sugar were exported from India.
According to Prakash Naiknavare, CEO of the National Federation of LTD (NFCSF), 900,000 tonnes of sugar will probably be exported within 30 September.
Millers feel that demand is likely to grow on the domestic market as the monsoons progress.
Sugar production in 2024-25 is expected to be around 26 million tonnes. This includes 25.74 million tons produced until mid -May, along with an estimated 400,000 to 500,000 tons expected of special crushing in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, which usually runs from June/July to September 2025.
The season began with an opening supply of 8 million tons. Due to the planned home consumption of 28 million tons and exports of up to 900,000 tonnes, according to ISM, the final supply is likely to be around 5.2-5.3 million tonnes.
This reflects a comfortable bumper and ensures that the Earth has enough sugar supplies to suit its home demand with sugar.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the sugar season 2025–26 appears. In Maharashtra and Karnataka, planting sugar cane showed significant improvement thanks to a favorable southwest monsoon. Overall, the area of sugar cane is slightly year -on -year at 5.51 million hectares to 11 July.
Set up for early start
The podium, which is supported by the strong availability of cane, is set at the early start of the overwhelming season in October 2025. In the northern belt, including Uttar Prades, the varietal spare initiative is expected to bring tangible benefits.
This effort is expected to result in higher cane yields and an improved level of sugar regeneration, according to NAIKNAVAE from NFCSF.
According to Crisil’s evaluation, gross sugar production in India is likely to increase in the sugar season to approximately 35 million tonnes by about 15% to approximately 35 million tonnes, supported by above -average monsoon, increases the cane and yields to key sugar -producing conditions such as Mahashtra and Karnataka.
Growth is expected to facilitate the tightness of the domestic offer and has the potential to increase diversity of ethanol and revive exports with adequate political support.
