Sugar production crosses 27.41 lakh tonnes mark

New Delhi, Dec 2 (UNI) Sugar production till November 30, 2016 in the current 2016-17 Sugar Session is 27.41 lakh tonnes, which is 4.06 lakh tonnes more than the production in the last season up to the same corresponding period when 23.35 lakh tonnes of sugar was produced.
According to a Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), as compared to 340 sugar factories which were crushing sugarcane last year on November 30, 2015, 365 sugar mills were crushing sugarcane on the said date this year.
Most of the sugar mills in Maharashtra have started their crushing operation and 136 sugar mills were crushing sugarcane as on November 30, 2016 as compared to 161 last year. They have produced 9.50 lakh tonnes of sugar up to November 30, 2016 as compared to 12.90 lakh tons produced in the corresponding period last year. This is mainly because mills in Maharashtra started their crushing late this year.
“In the case of Uttar Pradesh, 101 sugar mills were crushing sugarcane on November 30, 2016 who have produced 8.51 lakh tonnes. At the end of November, 2015 last year, 61 sugar mills were crushing in Uttar Pradesh who had produced 1.74 lakh tonnes, which is about 6.77 lakh tonnes less than what they have already produced this year,” ISMA said.
In Karnataka, 58 sugar mills were crushing on November 30, 2016 and 7 lakh tonnes of sugar was produced. As compared to this, last year as on November 30, 2015, 60 sugar mills were crushing sugarcane who had produced 5.61 lakh tonnes of sugar.
In Gujarat, 18 sugar mills have started crushing on November 30, 2016 and they have produced 1.37 lakh tonnes of sugar. Last year on November 30, 2015, 18 mills were in operation and they produced 2.25 lakh tonnes of sugar.
Crushing operation in all other states has also begun and slowly and slowly the pace of crushing is picking up. The other States have produced 1.03 lakh tons in this season upto 30th November, 2016, which in the previous season upto 30th November, 2015 was 0.85 lakh tonnes.
Sugar dispatched from sugar mills in first month of current season i.e. October 2016, was 20.64 lakh tonnes, 2.35 lakh tonnes lower as compared to 22.99 lakh tonnes dispatched in October 2015, last year. However, in the month of September 2016 the sugar dispatched was 20.31 lakh tonnes, slightly higher than 19.19 lakh tonnes sugar dispatched last year, in the month of September 2015.
The lifting of sugar from mill has slowed down significantly, which has also resulted in a further fall in ex-mill sugar prices across the country.
