India (sugar production)

India is one of the world's largest producers of sugar, primarily from sugarcane plantations spread across states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The country harvests sugarcane annually, extracting juice to produce raw sugar and other by-products. This industry supports millions of farmers and workers, contributes significantly to rural economies, and supplies both domestic markets and exports. Sugar production is influenced by weather conditions, government policies, and global demand. India’s cyclical harvesting and processing contribute to fluctuations in output, making it a key player in global sugar markets while fulfilling domestic consumption needs.
