Sugar production is expected to be around 250.46 lakh tonnes during 2014-15, a tad higher than the estimated 245.54 lakh tonnes in the last 2013-14 sugar season.
This year’s estimated production would be sufficient to meet the estimated domestic requirement of 245 lakh tonnes during the period, the Food Ministry said.
The production estimates have been arrived at keeping in view the first advance estimates of sugarcane production released by the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation and discussions with the Cane Commissioners of States, the Ministry said.
The Department of Food and Public Distribution held a conference with the Cane Commissioners of sugar-producing States here on Wednesday.
