India Postpones Decision on Sugar Exports |
|
India has deferred a ministerial panel's meeting scheduled Thursday to consider sugar exports during this marketing year, government officials said.
The domestic sugar industry has been pushing for sugar exports in 2011/12 as the country is heading for another bumper crop. The government allowed 2.6 mln tonnes of sugar exports in 2010/11. While the industry seeks permission to ship around 4 mln tonnes to overseas destinations as soon as possible, the government has indicated that it will opt for shipments in smaller batches.
