Agro Outlook

                                                      D A I L Y B U Z Z
Sugar futures dropped due to poor demand and ample stocks with mills, and many trade and  industry officials believe the contract could fall further.

The key December contract was down 0.11 percent at 2,837 rupees per 100 kg at 1033 GMT on
the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange.

India started the new sugar-marketing year with carry-forward stocks of 8.8 million tonnes. The
country is expected to produce 25 million tonnes this year against a demand of 23 million tonnes.

A pick-up in exports could help mills in trimming inventory and support prices, dealers said.

Indian traders have struck deals to export about 175,000 tonnes of raw sugar for DecemberJanuary delivery, marking their first sale in the new season that started on Oct. 1.

Spot sugar was unchanged at 3,200.00 rupees per 100 kg at the Kolhapur market in topproducing Maharashtra state.
