Increase minimum selling price of sugar to Rs 42/kg, says industry body NFCSF

The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF), representing co-operative sugar mills in India, has requested the central government to increase the minimum selling price (MSP) of sugar by 35% to Rs 42/kg. The MSP was introduced in 2018 and last revised in February 2019. However, sugar prices have been consistently higher than the MSP, with ex-mill prices in Maharashtra being Rs 36/kg, and retail prices in the range of Rs 42-44/kg. The NFCSF has already submitted its proposal to the Union Government.
