To ensure continuous availability throughout the year, the center may implement a requirement for sugar stock declaration.
The government is exploring a system to compel mills, stockists, and wholesalers to declare their sugar stocks, aiming to guarantee ample availability in collaboration with the States.
This initiative comes in response to anticipated lower production, surpassing consumption levels.
In a directive issued by the Food Ministry in September, sugar mills were instructed to provide monthly details of sugar sales.
This measure aims to compile comprehensive data on stock levels among traders, dealers, wholesalers, large retail chains, and processors, ensuring abundant availability at reasonable prices.
