Minister for cooperation Subhash Deshmukh informed that he had written a letter to Union Commerce ministry in this regard. He said that state has also requested Union Government to allow of sugar export as much as possible since sugar production is likely to increase in coming season taking in to account the predictionof a good monsoon.
Deshmukh informed that the sugar prices are falling down and dual pricing would not come in to force immediately. He informed that the Union Government has replied to his letter asking what could be the modalities for the dual pricing. Deshmukh informed that there is a difference between sugar consumed by domestic users and by those who use it for commercial purposes like preparing sweets and other items.
Deshmukh informed that state Government has suggested incentives for sugar factories who would go for producing ethanol and would use their vehicles by blending ethanol in to the petrol. He informed that incentives have also been suggested to manufacture raw sugar since it has export potential and prices of sugar in domestic market are going down.
