Located in Asia, India is the largest sugar producer in the world, and the Asian nation ranks second, behind Brazil in terms of exports of sugar. The Indian Government may consider raising the Sugar Exporter quota for the 2022-23 fiscal year in January after the December’22 production figures are out.
India exported a record 111 lakh tonnes of sugar in 2021-22. The marketing year for sugar starts in October and ends in September.
