India lifts sugar curbs for ethanol in threat to global supply
India has recently lifted restrictions on sugar mills and distilleries regarding the use of cane juice to produce ethanol. Starting from the 2024-25 fiscal year, ethanol producers will be permitted to use not only sugarcane juice but also B-heavy and C-heavy molasses. This move by the Indian food ministry is expected to have significant repercussions for both the domestic and global sugar markets.
