Sugar Industry Faces Consumption Dip Amidst Ethanol Shifts

Sugar Industry Faces Consumption Dip Amidst Ethanol Shifts

The Indian sugar industry is worried because people are eating less sugar.

This is partly due to government health campaigns encouraging people to eat less sugar.

Also, the industry is now getting less ethanol production business because the government shifted to producing ethanol from grains instead of sugar.

The sugar industry leaders are seeking solutions, including possible sugar exports, to balance supply, demand, and ethanol production.
