7-2018 sugar season (October-September).
Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka are the top three sugar producing states of India. ISMA said the top sugar producing state, Maharashtra, is expected to close the current crushing season much earlier than the previous season due to low availability of cane. It also said Uttar Pradesh, the number two sugar producing state, would produce lower than the previous season (2017-2018) as yield per hectare is lower in the current season.
