This measure is part of the government’s strategy to maintain a balanced and fair sugar market, ensuring that sugar remains affordable for all consumers, including farmers. Despite record increases in international sugar prices, the government has successfully kept the retail price of sugar stable, with ample stock available to meet the country’s requirements.
