India Restricts Sugar Exports at 10 Million Tonnes For First Time in 6 Years
The curbs on sugar export come for the first time in six years. The country last restricted export of the sweetener by imposing an export duty of 20% in 2016.
India issued notification curbing exports of sugar, a surplus commodity, imposing a limit of 10 million tonnes this season, amid record overseas sales, to check domestic inflation and channel more sugarcane into ethanol production. India is the world’s second-largest sugar producer and exporter behind Brazil. Export restrictions by India will send international prices soaring in the middle of a global commodities-price spiral. The government has also set up a cross-ministry panel to monitor prices of all imported commodities, especially industrial raw materials, said officials.
