Sugar ex-mill prices down 18 pc to Rs 55/kg after import move, curbs on hoarding: Food secretary

Ex-mill sugar prices have dropped eighteen percent to fifty-five rupees per kilogram. This decline follows government measures to curb speculation and allow imports. The food secretary stated prices were artificially inflated by mills previously. Wholesale and retail prices have not yet reflected this significant ex-mill reduction. Government actions aim to stabilize sugar costs for consumers nationwide.
