SANGLI/SATARA/SOLAPUR: India is set to produce lesser sugar than previously estimated by industry bodies and government agencies, with the cane crop maturing early and losing weight due to weather conditions in key growing regions, farmers and traders told Reuters.
Lower sugar output could prevent the world’s second-biggest exporter from allowing additional exports, potentially supporting global prices , and helping rivals Brazil and Thailand to increase their shipments.
