Sugar weakens on higher supply, weak demand

Sugar prices declined by Rs 40 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today following constant arrivals amid muted demand.

Marketmen said besides increased supplies from mills, limited off-take by stockists and bulk consumers in view of approaching month-end mainly resulted fall in sweetener prices.
