May 14, Fineko/abc.az. Indian authorities have imposed a ban on sugar exports. The relevant order has been published on the website of the General Directorate of Foreign Trade of the Republic.

ABC.AZ informs that raw sugar, white sugar and refined sugar are also prohibited.

"The sugar export policy <...> has been changed from the "restricted" category to the "prohibited" category with immediate effect and effect until September 30, 2026 or until further orders are received," the statement says.

Those measures are aimed at increasing the supply of sugar in the domestic market, which should help curb price increases in the current situation in the Middle East.
