Domestic Market
Sugar prices steady to weak on subdued demand
Sugar prices in major markets remained low due to weak demand in Muzaffarnagar. Meanwhile, demand is said to be very good in Kolhapur, which is supporting Maharashtra prices. The lack of truck movement caused by Cyclone “Biparjoy” is also weighing on domestic market prices.
Prices in Kolhapur’s major markets (S grade) remained stable in the Rs 3,385 to Rs 3,440 range, while prices in Muzaffarnagar (M grade) fell by Rs 10-20 per quintal, ranging from Rs 3,640 to Rs 3,660.
Prices are expected to trade steady to firm due to strong demand, according to Agrimandi.live. Prices in the Kolhapur markets are expected to trade near Rs 3,480 per quintal in the near future, with a support level of Rs 3,360 per quintal.
