With elections around the corner, govt. is keen to check sugar prices by allowing imports. However, sugar industry is opposing the move on various grounds.  First, they claim such a move could lead to planting concerns.   If imports are allowed leading to dropping prices, then farmers would continue to switch to other corps leading to more imports in coming years. The industry suggested imports by mills with export obligation after September 09.
