Disruption in the sugar supply chain is expected to be minimal due to night curfews and lockdown imposed in some states as this time restrictions are more organised and standard operating procedures are in places, industry body ISMA said on Friday.

Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) said the country's sugar production reached 29.09 million tonne till April 15 of the 2020-21 season (October-September), higher than 24.82 million tonne in the year-ago period.

Sugar exports were at 2.97 million tonne till March of this season, against the mandatory quota of 6 million tonne set for the current year, it added.

ISMA has pegged the country's sugar production at 30.2 million tonne for the 2020-21 season, as against 27.42 million tonne in the previous year.

Releasing the latest data, ISMA said mills have sold about 12.98 million tonne of sugar in the domestic market till March of this season, against the quota of 12.5 million tonne.
