- Robust sugar exports from the world's second biggest producer could keep a lid on global prices, which are currently trading near their highest level in 4-1/2 years because of lower output in top producer Brazil.
- "There is no export subsidy for sugar as of now and therefore there is absolutely no impact of the order of the WTO panel with regard to Indian sugar exports," said Abinash Verma, director general of the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), a body of top private sugar producers.
