SUGAR INDUSTRY:

  • Factors for Indian sugar export in SS21–22 

While sugar production has barely grown in the past 10 years, sugar and ethanol consumption continues to grow. With erratic weather conditions in Brazil and Thailand hampering production, Indian exports are likely to benefit from the following factors:

  1. Firm international prices, expected to touch 25 cents/pound by next year.
  2. Early demand indications from buyers; India is the only large global producer with a surplus.
  3. Mills are willing to contract/ supply early. ~4Mn tonnes of contract signed as of 31 Jan 2022.

Key concerns

  1. Availability of ships & containers and high freight costs.
  2. Uncertainty in Afghanistan due to domestic political issues. Afghanistan is a large importer of Indian sugar. Uncertainty in Iran with respect to rupee trade resumption of exports.
  • Why India has put the brakes on exports

A fortnight after India banned wheat export, announced restrictions on the export of sugar to keep a lid on price in the domestic market, this is the first time in six years that the centre has placed a restriction on sugar exports.  The decision will ensure that the closing stock of sugar at the end of sugar season (Sep 30, 2022) remains 60-65 LMT which is two-three months of stocks required for domestic use crushing in the new season starts in the last week of october in Karnataka and in the last week of october to november in Maharashtra and in November in uttar pradesh. 

In an order issued by the Directorate of General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) earlier this week, the Centre said the export of sugar — raw, refined and white — will be placed under the “restricted” category from June 1 till October 31. The decision, the government said, was taken to maintain domestic availability and prevent a surge in prices amid rising global food and oil prices.Citing the DGFT order, the government said in a statement that the season’s exports will be capped up to 100 lakh tonnes (LMT). The current sugar marketing season began in October last year and will end on September 30, 2022.

OBSERVATION:

Shree Renuka has been working on expanding its current ethanol capacity (From 720 KLPD to 1400 KLPD) for which it has planned to invest Rs. 6500 Mn, it endeavours to become a green energy company with a focus on production of biofuel ethanol.
