The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) in its latest data has stated that production of sugar in India was 7.7 per cent lower at 112 lakh tonnes in the first three months (October-December) of the ongoing 2023-24 season. Sugar production stood at 121.35 lakh tonnes during the October-December period of 2022-23 season. The fall in production can be attributed to lesser output in two key states.
NFCSF has projected the country's total sugar output to be at 305 lakh tonnes in the 2023-24 season, lower than 330.90 lakh tonnes achieved in the 2022-23 season. Sugar season runs from October to September. As per the data, a total of 511 factories had crushed 1,223 lakh tonnes of sugarcane till December 2023 of the ongoing season. Among the top three sugar producing states, the output in Maharashtra and Karnataka remained lower during the October-December period of this season.
The data showed that sugar production in Maharashtra -- the country's top sugar producing state -- was lower at 38.20 lakh tonnes till December of 2023-24 season, as against 47.40 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period. Similarly, the production in Karnataka, the country's third largest producing state, was lower at 24 lakh tonnes, as against 26.70 lakh tonnes in the said period. However, Uttar Pradesh, the country's second largest sugar producing state, produced more sugar at 34.65 lakh tonnes till December of this season, when compared to 30.80 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period.
NFCSF said the average sugar recovery in the country stood at 9.17 per cent and ‘as winter progresses, sugar yield is expected to increase accordingly’. By the end of the season, Uttar Pradesh is expected to produce 115 lakh tonnes of sugar, Maharashtra 90 lakh tonnes, Karnataka 42 lakh tonnes, Tamil Nadu 12 lakh tonnes and Gujarat 10 lakh tonnes.
