India, the world's second-biggest sugar producer, said Jan. 7 it may delay shipments in an attempt to curb food-price inflation, according to a Reuters report. The government said Jan. 3 it would issue permits for shipments of up to 500,000 metric tons.
"Right now there are uncertainties in India," said Fabienne Pointier, an analyst at Lausanne, Switzerland-based broker Kingsman SA. "Most traders were convinced that we would see 500,000 tons of general-licensed sugar exported, but then on Friday we saw some signs that might not happen."
