Sugar industry is one of the most important agro based industries and is highly responsible for creating significant impact on rural economy in particular and countrys economy in general. Sugar industry ranks second amongst major agro based industries. Sugarcane and sugar beet are the main sources of sugar in the world. Out of total sugar produced in the world 60 per cent is obtained only from sugarcane. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is an important cash crop cultivated in about 84 countries of the world. The plantation will have to be structured and planned in such a way that the right ratio mix is available when the mill, power plant and distillery become operational. The entire plantation will take around three years to develop and mature. Sugarcane Characteristics: Sugarcane is a tall perennial grass that grows between seven and 16 feet (2 and 5 m). Sugarcane harvesting is a complex process that involves careful cutting and handling procedures to maintain high sugar content and cane quality. Perhaps sugar is the most politicised industry in India with its production to a large extent controlled by politicians and the government regulating its supply to control prices. The Government not only fixes the prices of levy sugar but also fixes the supporting prices of sugarcane, as in the case of food grains. The sugar industry is also the most advanced processing industry in the agricultural sector and has contributed to a considerable area. The integrated rural development brought about by sugar factories in certain remote villages in the country goes to above its backward and forward linkages in the developmental process. Uses and Application As such sugar used as sweetener in food product, like Jam, Jellies, Bread Biscuit & Cake Industry. It has largest use as domestic purposes also. The various end uses of sugar are mainly in the Beverages, Bakery, cereal and, Confectionery and related products, Canned, bottled and frozen foods, Ice Cream dairy products, Sweets, Used in households, Restaurants & Hotels etc ? Market Survey India has been known as the original home of sugar and sugarcane. Indian mythology supports the above fact as it contains legends showing the origin of sugarcane. India is the second largest producer of sugarcane next to Brazil. Presently, about 4 million hectares of land is under sugarcane with an average yield of 70 tonnes per hectare. More than 130 countries produce either sugarcane or sugarbeet, and ten of these produce sugar from both cane and beet crops. Sugarcane, on average, accounts for 75 to 80 percent of global production per year, and developing countries produce about 70 percent of total global output. Sugar production in states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka, is 22% more than what it was the previous year. The country is set to produce 2.6 crore tonne sugar this year. Moreover, 59 lakh tonne stock from last year still remains. As against this stock, the domestic consumption is estimated to be 2.4 crore tonne. The excess stock of some eight million tonne is likely to bring down the prices in the domestic market. The number of sugar factories in India crushing sugarcane as on January 15, 2012 was 516 in comparison to 498 as on January 15, 2011. The annual turnover of the Indian sugar industry is Rs one lakh crore of which Rs 55,000 crore is spent on sugarcane payment.
