Sugar Subsidy
Generous export subsidy for sugar may only solve half the problem
The cabinet last week approved a huge sugar export subsidy of Rs.6286 crore for sugar mills to export sugar. Cost of producing sugar in India is substantially higher than in countries like Brazil and Australia. With global sugar prices falling, the only way for Indian sugar mills to compete in the world market is through government subsidies. While this is good for optics, will this really address the concerns of sugar sector?
Not so sweet sugar problem
For a long time, sugar has been a very sensitive topic; politically and socially. That is the reason governments have gone out of their way to keep the sugar farmers and the sugar mills in good humor. With a global glut of supply, the prices of sugar are falling globally. But India has a larger problem of high cost of production. Apart from structural issues, sugar costs and output also gets impacted by weather related factors. When sugar prices are below cost, it results in burgeoning sugarcane dues to farmers. The government cannot afford an unhappy farmer lobby and cane farmers are very powerful in states like Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. The only option is to give subsidies and this year the government has announced export subsidies for 6 million tons at the rate off Rs.10,448/ton. The centre’s bet is that if the subsidy helps boost exports then the funds can be realized faster and the cane farmer dues can also be paid out on time by the sugar mills.
