Dec 03, 2025 India's October-November sugar output rises 43% on higher recovery rates India's sugar production in the first two months of the 2025/26 season, which began on October 1, rose 43% from a year earlier, driven by better recovery rates and faster crushing across major producing states, leading industry bodies said on Tuesday. The higher output is expected to allow the world's second-largest sugar producer to export surplus supplies without risk of domestic shortages, although it could weigh on global prices. Mills have produced 4.1 million metric tons of sugar by the end of November, up from last year's 2.88 million tons, the Indian Sugar & Bio-Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) said in a statement.

Dec 02, 2025 Bihar: GI tag for Mithila Makhana boosts pride and economy Everything changed in 2022, when Mithila Makhana earned the coveted Geographical Indication (GI) tag, a recognition that linked the crop’s uniqueness to the land and hands that nurtured it. For Sahani, it was more than a label. It was validation.“This tag gave our crop a name, a brand, and a promise of authenticity,” he says. With improved prices and new confidence, Sahani and his two sons dreamed bigger. They converted a corner of their home into a small processing unit, where Makhana is cleaned, roasted, and neatly packed under their own label. What began as a simple family tradition has now evolved into a small-scale enterprise. Source: https://www.awazthevoice.in

Dec 02, 2025 Solapur’s farmer-producer company exports bananas to Dubai Quoting Ratnadeep More, CEO of SAPCL, a media statement said: “In the beginning, we assumed dry raisins would be our anchor commodity, given Solapur’s proximity to grape-growing regions. However, field surveys showed limited market demand. Even fresh grape trading didn’t work in our favour. That failure pushed us to re-examine our strengths.” It was during this search for a sustainable alternative that the team discovered the expanding potential of banana cultivation. Farmers began adopting banana as a primary crop, and soon, Surachita Agro onboarded 350 dedicated shareholders. Daily harvesting volumes of 8-10 tonnes helped the farmer producer company (FPC) generate enough throughput to justify the development of a pack-house facility.
