India has recently announced the approval of 1 million metric tons of sugar exports for the 2024-2025 marketing year, a landmark decision that aligns with the government’s goals to stabilize domestic sugar prices, support sugar mills, and benefit over 50 million sugarcane farmers. This policy, implemented amidst declining sugar production and rising ethanol demand, has significant implications for global trade, especially for markets across Asia and Africa.
At Asia & Africa General Trading FZE L.L.C, this development is an exciting opportunity to further enhance our role as a premier supplier of sugar and other food commodities in the GCC, Asia, and African markets. With over 18 years of experience in foodstuff trading, we are well-positioned to leverage India’s re-entry into the sugar export market to meet the diverse demands of our customers.
India’s Strategic Move in the Sugar Market
The Indian government’s decision marks its return to the global sugar export market after more than a year of restrictions. By allocating quotas to mills based on production averages, the government aims to strike a balance between supporting domestic needs and enabling global trade. However, with India’s sugar production projected to decline to 27 million tons this season—well below its annual consumption of over 29 million tons—export volumes remain carefully regulated.
For companies like Asia & Africa General Trading FZE L.L.C., this move signals potential shifts in global supply chains, particularly as demand for quality sugar rises across Asia and Africa. India’s decision could stabilize international prices while addressing growing consumption in emerging markets.

Why India’s Sugar Policy Matters to Our Customers
India’s sugar export decision aligns with broader trends in global agriculture and food trade. The growing demand for sugar across Asia and Africa is driven by population growth, urbanization, and evolving consumption patterns. At the same time, limited surplus supplies and rising ethanol demand are reshaping the sugar market.

- Enhanced Supply Security: India’s re-entry into the export market ensures a steady flow of sugar to meet rising demand.
