India's Sugar Season Closes Early Amid Rough Weather

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Owing to heavy rain and other weather-related difficulties, about 75% of India's sugar mills ended their current operational season this month, about eight weeks prior to the conclusion of the regular cycle. India is the world's second-largest exporter of sugar.

In Maharashtra, one of India's top sugar-producing states, more than a dozen sugar-production units had been closed by end of February. India likely will be forced to reduce its sugar exports, which could have global consequences.

Industrial Info is tracking US$2.4 billion worth of active projects at more than 470 sugar mills across India, with about 2,000 functional management contacts.
