Indian sugar production for marketing year (MY) 2014/15 (Oct-Sept) is forecast to rise by three percent to 27.9 million metric tons (MMT) due to higher than anticipated sugarcane production and strong cane recovery in the tropical zone. Consumption growth and tighter supplies will limit exports to 1.5 MMT in MY 2014/15. Partial central government deregulation is helping some millers operate more efficiently.
