a. 24 MT
b. 25 MT
c. 26 MT
d. 27 MT

ANSWER: 26 MT
 
Government pegs total sugar output at 26 MT for current marketing year 2015-2016 which is 2 million tonnes less than last year on account of poor monsoon in Maharashtra and Karnataka. This is much lower than ISMA’s estimate of 27 MT for 2015-2016. Country has produced 28.1 MT of sugar in 2014-2015 marketing year. Currently, India is the world’s second largest sugar producer.
