The northern state of Uttar Pradesh was the leading producer of sugarcane in India with a production volume of over 179 million metric tons in fiscal year 2022. This was followed by Maharashtra with a production volume of over 116 million metric tons.
Sugar export
Sugar was one of the leading agricultural products exported from India. Over 343 billion Indian rupees worth of sugar was exported from the country in 2022. However, the government imposed restrictions on sugar exports from the country as of June 2022. The step was taken to maintain the price stability of sugar and to guarantee enough supply for domestic consumption.
Sugar consumption
India ranks first as the leading sugar consumer globally. A majority of Indian cuisines contain sugar. Especially during the festive season, the celebration in the country is incomplete without sweets or mithai as known in the Hindi language. Most Indian sweets along with sugar contain nuts, flour, and dairy components such as milk, butter, and cream. As a result of increased consumption and demand, the market value of sweets is likely to reach 834 billion Indian rupees in 2025.
