SUGAR INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Sugar is produced by pressing out the juice from sugarcane & then boiling it into crystals. This process was developed in India around 500 BC. The sugarcane cultivation is believed to have originated in New Guinea, and was spread along routes to Southeast Asia and India. Brazil and India are the largest producer and producer-consumer of sugar respectively. India is the second largest producer of sugarcane next to Brazil. In 2008, the production in Brazil was 645,300,182 tonnes & India was 348,187,900 tonnes. India contributes about 12% of world sugar production and has annual sugar production capacity of 23 million tonnes with a total investment of $11000 million. Presently, about 4 million hectares of land is under sugarcane production. The average yield is around 70 tonnes per hectare. India now has 453 working sugar factories with an average capacity of 3500 TCD (tonnes crushed per day). There has been an increase in the volume of free international trade in sugar, which provides an excellent means of increasing exports. In India over 45 million tonnes of sugar is being traded each year. Sugar production is not the only business of the Indian industry, but it also has a diversified business of power generation and ethanol production. The country has been producing about 1.7 billion liters of alcohol utilizing 75-80% molasses, which is a by-product of sugar production in the country. In 1993, Molasses and alcohol-based industries were decontrolled, but currently are being controlled by state governments.
The quality & quantity of sugar produced, depends on the factors like daily crushing capacity, duration of crushing season and percentage of sugar recovery from the cane crushed & quality of the sugar cane produced. However, since the production pattern is not constant, sugar becomes an erratic trade in the world market.Food Processing Companies in India are the major consumers of the Sugar Industry.
GUR & KHANDSARI
India is the largest single producer of sugar including Khandsari and Gur. They are the traditional cane sugar sweeteners which is consumed more by the rural population in India. Currently, about one-third of sugarcane production is used for Gur & Khandsari production. These two sectors are completely free from controls and taxes which are applicable to the sugar industry.
GOVERNMENT ROLE
Government plays an important role in the Indian Sugar industry by laying down various restrictive sugar policies, regarding its production & sale both locally & exports. With the grant of tariff protection to the Indian sugar industry, in 1930 the modern sugar processing industry started in India. In 1950-51 the Government laid down targets of sugar production and consumption, licensed and installed capacity, sugarcane production during each of the Five Year Plan periods.India’s Sugar Industry is one of the most controlled food processing industry in the country with strict laws on export,stocking,prices paid to sugarcane farmers etc.This gives rise to a lot of corruption as well which is the case with most regulated industries in India.The Minimum Support Price (MSP) is controlled by the state governments as well which give their own prices.This makes the sugar industry a minefield of ad hoc rules and laws.
Sugar Prices in India
Sugar in India goes through periodic booms and busts with oversupply leading to a crash in sugar prices.This results in lower acreage which means higher prices in the latter years.As imports and exports are strictly regulated this means that the sugar indutry in India faces periodic peaks and valleys in its performance.In 2008 there was a massive boom where prices of sugar shot up leading to massive profits for the sugar companies.However in recent years oversupply had led to losses as the ASP of sugar has not kept up with the high prices being paid for sugarcane.Sugar prices in India have been range bound at around Rs 30-35/kg in 2010 and 2011.This is in sharp contrast to other food prices which have shot up sharply in this time interval
BY-PRODUCTS & THEIR USES
- Molasses – used for the manufacture of alcohol, yeast and cattle feed. Nearly 90% of molasses produced is consumed by the industrial alcohol manufacturers.
- Bagasse – is a fibrous residue of cane stalk that is obtained after crushing and extracting juice. It is used as a combustible in furnaces to produce steam, which in turn produces power. It is also used as a raw material for production of paper and as feedstock for cattle.
The sugar mills have been successful in procuring up to 90-95% of its total power requirement, by using bagasse. Hence it has cut down its dependence on State Electricity for their power supply. - Ethanol – is used as a blend fuel with gasoline in the transport sector.
- Fly Ash – is the residue that is left after bagasse completely burns out. It can be used as a substitute for firewood. It is also used by the farmers for cultivation.
- Press mud – the residue that is left, after the filtration of the juice, is called Press mud. It is also known as oliver cake or press cake. It is used to produce high quality bio-manure.
TYPES OF SUGAR
Sugar products can be broadly divided into four basic categories : granulated, brown, liquid sugar and invert sugar.
The most popular amongst all is the Granulated sugar, which pure crystalline sucrose, mostly used for domestic purpose, food processing industries and professional bakers. It can be further classified into several types of sugar based on the crystal size.
- Regular / Extra Fine / Fine Sugar – is the regular sugar found in every home. It is most commonly used for domestic cooking.
- Fruit sugar – is slightly finer than regular sugar and is used in dry mixes such as gelatin desserts, pudding mixes and drink mixes.
- Bakers Specials – is even finer than fruit sugar. It was developed specially for the baking industry.
- Superfine/ Ultrafine/ Bar Sugar – is the finest of all the types of granulated sugar. It is ideal for extra fine textured cakes and meringues.
- Confectioners / Powdered Sugar – is granulated sugar ground to a smooth powder and then sifted. It is used in icings, confections and whipping cream.
- Coarse sugar – is normally processed from the purest sugar liquor. Used in making fondants, confections and liquors.
