Sugar exports to rise when global rates go up: Industry
Financial Express Kolkata
|November 11, 2025
THE GOVERNMENT'S PLAN to allow 1.5 million tonne (MT) of sugar exports in the 2025-26 sugar season (October-September) would help local mills to rake in profits only if the global prices of the sweetener firm up. Currently, prices in key export markets are ruling below the domestic prices.
Reports of the government’s nod for the exports came at a time when sugar industry was fearing a rise in stocks amid the prospects of 16% increase in sugar production to 34.35 MT in the 2025-26 season.
“Global market prices of sugar are currently significantly lower than the domestic prices, so we do not see immediate exports happening,” Tarun Sawhney, vice-chairman and managing director, Triveni Engineering and Industries, told FE.
