Govt allows export of 1 million tons sugar in ongoing 2024-25 season

The government on Monday allowed the export of 1 million tonnes of sugar in the ongoing 2024-25 season ending September. "...the Government of India has approved a 10 lakh tonne sugar export quota for 2024-25," Food Minister Pralhad Joshi said in a post on X.

This ensures price stability, supports five crore farmer families and five lakh workers, and strengthens the sugar sector, he added.

The Food Ministry has issued an order in this regard, allocating export quota sugar mill-wise.


During the last 2023-24 season, exports were entirely restricted due to domestic supply concerns.
