Sugarasia 2009

India has been known as the original home of sugar and sugarcane. Indian mythology supports the above fact as it contains legends showing the origin of sugarcane. India is the second largest producer of sugarcane next to brazil. Presently, about 4 million hectares of land is under sugarcane with an average yield of 70 tonnes per hectare. In brazil , out of the total available , 45% goes for sugar production and 55% for the production of ethanol directly from sugarcane juice. This gives the industry in Brazil an additional flexibility to adjust its sugar production keeping in view the sugar price in the international market as nearly 40% of the sugar output is exported. This could be a perfect solution for ongoing odds of excess production being faced by Asian industry.

The annual projected growth rate in the area under sugarcane at 1.5% per annum has doubled in the last five years. This is because it is considered to be an assurred cash crop with the good returns to the farmers vis-a-vis other competing crops.

In view of this the future of this segment is full of opportunity and threats, hence Nexgen Exhibitions Pvt Ltd (AN ISO 9001:2000 company) presents an exclusive and dedicated exhibition on sugar, Co-generation , Ethanol and Cane harvesting , thus SUGARASIA is to showcase A to Z Sugar and downstream industries.
