Sugar remains weak on bumper stocks, selective demand

Sugar tumbled by Rs 40 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today following huge availability of stocks.
Marketmen said bloated ready stocks on steady inflow of arrivals from mills, sparked by limited offtake by stockist and bulk consumers such as soft drink and ice cream makers mainly led to fall in sweetener prices.
A couple of days ago, the government had withdrawn stocks holdings limits on sugar dealers in view of bumper production and ample availability of sugar in the market.
