NEW DELHI – Ex-mill prices of sugar extended losses in key markets of India today due to poor demand amid higher selling pressure, said dealers.

 

* Demand is not gathering pace as compared to production of the sweetener, Uttar Pradesh-based trader Naresh Gupta said.

 

* Sugar production in the country rose 5.4% year-on-year to 8.2 mln tn during Oct 1-Dec 15, the Indian Sugar Mills Association said today.

 

* The downtrend in prices may be limited in the next three-five days, Gupta said.

 

Following are the highlights of sugar trade in the domestic market:

--Down 10-20 rupees at 3,430-3,490 rupees per 100 kg in Muzaffarnagar 

--Down 5-10 rupees per 100 kg at 3,340-3,390 2 rupees per 100 kg in Delhi

--Down 10 rupees per 100 kg at 3,320-3,410 in Kolhapur

--Down 5 rupees at 3,532-3,632 rupees per 100 kg in Mumbai

 

* On the Intercontinental Exchange, the most-active March contract of raw sugar was 1.1% higher at 20.3 cents per pound in anticipation of higher sugar output in Brazil, the second-largest producer.

 

* Brazil's sugar production in 2022-23 is seen rising 2.8% on year to 32.9 mln tn, said Brazil's sugarcane industry association UNICA.

 

* The European Association of Sugar Manufacturers has said that the European Union is likely to produce 15.5 mln tn of sugar in the 2022-23 marketing year, down 7% on year.  End
