Crushing Season Approaching – Sharp Decline in Sugar Prices

According to sources, the sugar crushing season 2025–26 is about to begin, and the government has directed all sugar mills to commence crushing operations by November 15. As a result, sugar prices have been falling sharply with each passing day.

Over the last two days, sugar prices have dropped by PKR 100 to PKR 500 per 100 kg bag across different mills.

  • Chashma Sugar Mills: down by PKR 250 per 100 kg
  • Kamalia Sugar Mills: down by PKR 500 per 100 kg
  • Silanwali Sugar Mills: down by PKR 200 per 100 kg
  • JDW Sugar Mills: down by PKR 100 per 100 kg

The steepest decline was recorded in Kamalia Sugar Mills, where prices fell from PKR 17,800 to 17,300 per 100 kg bag.

Currently, market prices range between PKR 17,200 and 17,700 per 100 kg, and analysts expect the downward trend to continue as the crushing season officially begins.

Why Pakistan’s Rice Exports Are Falling While India Maintains Its Position

In November, Pakistan exported 406,843 metric tons of rice worth $171 million, showing a month-on-month increase compared to October, when exports stood at 360,474 metric tons. Despite this improvement, Pakistan’s overall rice exports remain significantly below last year’s levels. In comparison with its neighboring country India’s rice exports largely remained stable compared to the previous year. From April to November 2025, India earned approximately $7.3 billion from rice exports, almost unchanged from the same period last year. As the world’s largest rice exporter, India’s export performance has played a key role in shaping global rice stocks, alongside good harvests in other major producing countries that have kept global supply comfortable.
