India sees significant decline in sugar production

According to a Centrum report, India’s sugar industry is witnessing a significant decline in production in the current 2025 sugar season, with total production expected to fall below 27 million tonnes, a sharp decline from 31.8 million tonnes last year.

As of February 15, 2025, sugar production stood at 19.77 million tonnes, reflecting a 12% decline compared to the same period in the previous season. This decline is mainly due to more sugar being diverted to ethanol production, reduced cane availability and lower sugar yields.
