Nearly 41 co-operative sugar mills in the MH state have indicated they will start crushing sugarcane from the first week of October. They will be followed by another 46 in the second week so that by October 15, over 90 factories in the state will be operational. The state expects a second consecutive record breaking year, with sugarcane production expected to be 840 lakh tonnes, giving sugar production of 95-98 lakh tonnes. Indications are that yield projections for Marathwada will have to be scaled back by 10% due to a prolonged dry spell in the region. The first to start crushing operations will be mills in western Maharashtra, followed by those in Marathwada.
We'll have to wait n watch when other states start to crush..... UP should start soon followed by Karnataka, Gujarat and then AP & TN.
