Sugar Cycles: 7-8 years of losses followed by 2-3 years of super gains!

I think govt. may reconsider by end of February when Maharashtra picture is clear. Even if they allow cane diversion from March onwards then distilleries can run on juice till April/ May and then on stored molasses till May/ June – so at least a few months of utilisation.
Nobody is benefiting from govt’s decision – apart from the fact that retail sugar prices are lower by 1 or 2 rupees – sugar is anyway a tiny part of the household expenses… grains are more important whose prices are going up !!
