India's Sugar Export Position
India is the world's second-largest sugar producer after Brazil, with annual production exceeding 35 million metric tonnes in recent seasons. The primary sugar-producing states are Maharashtra (Kolhapur, Pune, Nashik districts), Karnataka (Belagavi) and Uttar Pradesh — all with established sugar mills producing internationally certified ICUMSA 45 refined white sugar.
ICUMSA 45 is the globally recognised premium grade for refined white sugar — the number 45 refers to the colour measurement in IU (ICUMSA Units), indicating a bright white, highly refined product free from molasses colouration. It meets the quality requirements for direct food use in all major importing markets.
