As is the practice, ISMA procured satellite images of cane area in the 2nd week of Jan’ 2023. The satellite pictures have given a good idea of the area already harvested and remaining unharvested area in the fields across the country.

Based on the images of harvested and balance area, field visits, current trend of yields and sugar recoveries achieved till now, as also
expected yield/sugar recovery in the balance period of the sugar season, ISMA is releasing its 2nd advance estimates of sugar production for 2022-23 SS as per table below, which is self-explanatory:
