Crystal sugar prices remain firm at São Paulo mills

In a significant boost to the state’s agro-industrial sector, the Bihar government has announced plans to establish 25 new sugar mills across various districts.

The sugar production season in Maharashtra is gaining momentum as 165 sugar mills across the state have officially begun crushing operations. With the season progressing steadily, the state has already recorded a sugar output of 151.48 lakh quintals, indicating a strong start for the industry.

The Commissioner noted that the Planning & Development Board has officially approved the “Digital Monitoring Scheme for the Sugar Sector” under the Annual Development Programmed (ADP), marking a major step toward real-time supervision of sugar mills in the province.

The strategy includes enhancing production capacity, modernizing technology, improving management practices, and exploring alternative revenue streams such as energy and ethanol production.

The government is working on a roadmap to modernize the mills with improved technology and efficient management under the cooperative framework.

The shift in leadership highlights a changing dynamic in India’s sugar sector, with Uttar Pradesh playing an increasingly important role in ensuring domestic supply stability.
