The apex industry body Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) is all set to revise the sweetener production estimates upwards for the current year due to an unexpected increase in cane yield in Maharashtra.
Revising its initial estimates of 25.1 million tonnes at the beginning of the crushing season 2017-18, ISMA raised India’s sugar production estimates by 1 million tonnes to 26.1 million tonnes on January 18. The sugar output was then estimated based on early indications of cane yield in Maharashtra when most operating mills had received early cane variety for crushing.
