PERFORMANCE OF SUGAR INDUSTRY IN MAJOR SUGAR PRODUCING STATES OF INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 61
Abstract
The paper aims to analysis the performance of sugar industry in major sugar producing states of India relating to various parameters such as area under sugarcane, sugarcane production, productivity of sugarcane, sugar production, cane utilization for sugar production, number of factories in operation, installed capacity, capacity utilization, sugar recovery percent and duration of cane crushing. The growth rate technique was employed to assess the performance of sugar factories for the period 1985-86 to 2012-13. The results of the study revealed that majority of the states showed positive significant growth in the area under sugarcane, sugarcane yield, sugarcane production, number of sugar factories in operation, utilization of sugarcane for sugar production, installed capacities and sugar production. This positive growth rates was due to increase in demand for sugar consumption, diversion of cane increase sugar consumption, diversion of cane from khnadasari and gur manufacturing units to sugar factories and increased demand for by-products of sugarcane (bagasse and molasses) for further production of alcohol and co-generation and blending of ethanol with petrol. On the other side, the capacity utilization and duration of crushing season were showed negative growth rate. This could be due to cyclicality of sugarcane production which is usually happens once in two or three years i.e. surplus or shortage production of cane, frequent floods, droughts, pest and disease attack on crops.
