Maharashtra Mills Mull 20Lt Sugar Exports

New Delhi: Mills in Maharashtra plan to export up to 15 lakh tonnes (lt) of white sugar and 7-9 lt of raw sugar during the resulting 2007-08 crushing season (October-September). Inclusive of another 2.5 lt against outstanding contracts, we will end up doing over 12 lt. With the mills hoped to crush 844 lt of cane and produce about 97 lt of sugar in the new season against 798 lt and 90.92 lt in 2006-07. Maharashtra mills have already joined hands for supplying 3 lt of raw sugar to the Indian Sugar Exim Corporation (ISEC) and Cargill. The factories that will begin crushing from October 1 will straightaway launch into production of raw sugar for exports.
