Will UP have record sugar production next year?
Sugar production in Uttar Pradesh is set to cross 105 lakh tonnes (lt) as the cane area has increased in the State. However, millers are worried about the impact of climate change as heavy unseasonal rains in October could have a negative impact on crops as happened last year.
Uttar Pradesh has produced 105.40 lt of sugar this season (October-September), the highest among all the States, but a tad above Maharashtra’s 105.30 lt.
