Sugar mill gate prices rose by Rs 40 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today, largely supported by halt in supplies amid pick up in buying activity.
Marketmen said besides frantic buying by stockists and bulk consumers such as soft-drink and ice-cream makers, triggered by ongoing summer season, pause supplies from by millers, bolstered sweetener prices.
Moreover, reports that government was planning to create buffer stocks and fixing minimum sale prices to curb falling sugar prices due to record output this marketing year, supported the recovery, they added.
