Indian sugar policies: Connecting production, consumption, and health Saini Shweta1,*, Khatri Pulkit1, Hussain Siraj2 1Arcus Policy Research 2Formerly Ministry of Agriculture (Government of India) *Corresponding author: ssaini@arcusresearch.in
Online published on 5 April, 2023. Abstract Sugar is one of the most regulated agricultural commodities in India. Every stage of its value addition has some mechanism of government support. Sugar emerges to be an interesting case study which shows how one market distortion triggers a spate of distortionary policies resulting in a highly distorted domestic sugar market, which at many times stands alienated from its global reference prices. The observed and estimated costs (actual and implied) of policy interventions by the government in the cane and sugar industry are high and have been rising overtime. Combining them with the high environmental and social costs, there emerges a need for a course correction in policies. Top Keywords Sugar, India, Diets, Nutrition, Obesity, Sugar exports, Subsidies.
