(a)
Based on the first advance estimates of sugarcane production released by the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation in September, 2011, the production of sugar is provisionally estimated at about 246 lac tons as against the estimated domestic demand of about 220 lac tons in the country during the current sugar season 2011-12.

The Government has recently allowed export of sugar upto 10 lac tons during 2011-12 sugar season under Open General License (OGL).

& (e)
The prices of sugar in the domestic market depend upon various factors namely, quantum of sugar produced, carried over stocks, domestic demand, international sugar prices and market sentiments etc. As such, it is not possible to indicate the impact of exports on domestic prices. It is the endeavor of the Government to make adequate sugar available at reasonable price through the policy of regulated release mechanism.
