SANDIP DAS

THE GOVERNMENT is not in favour of allowing sugar exports at present despite a projection of surplus of around one million tonne in the 2024-25 sugar season (October-September), Sanjeev Chopra, secretary, the department of food and public distribution, said on Thursday.

"We will take a decision on allowing sugar exports in due course in the current season as the first priority is to ensure adequate supplies for domestic consumption and then ensure supplies for ethanol production," he said on the sidelines of a meeting of the Indian Sugar and Bio-Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA).
