Thomas stated that the country’s sugar output in 2010-11 season is estimated at 24.5 million tonnes against the annual domestic demand of 22.5-23 mt. India, the world’s second largest sugar producer, had produced 19 mt in the 2009-10 season. The Government’s initial estimate is 1 mt lower than the industry’s forecast of 25.5 mt for the 2010-11 season. No decision has been taken by the Central Government to decontrol the present controls over the sugar sector.
