Food Ministry Sugar Mills, 20 percent of packaging jute
The central government has made rules for packing sugar in hemp. The Ministry of Food has informed the Ministry of Textile under the Jute Packaging Material Act, 1987 to all sugar mills about its regulations. Under this, 20 percent of sugar packing is in jute bags or bastards. The government has made this rule mandatory. This was because some mills were found to be not following government orders.
The Ministry of Food, who shared the December 2024 letter of the China Directorate with all sugar mills, sought to follow the rules on March 27. According to the letter, all Chinese manufacturers have to follow 20 percent mandatory jute packaging instructions in the total sugar production of sugar under the Ministry of Textile.
Action is taken without complying with instructions
Apart from this, the Ministry of Food has said that the Chinese Directorate will take action in the current Chinese season (October 2024-September 2025). In October last year, the Ministry has asked all sugar mills to submit information about the jute packaging in the monthly return (P -2 sheet) they filed.

Mills court knocked the door
Due to this mandatory rule, the sugar mills and the Chinese industry are causing problems, and then some sugar mills have examples of the courts to stop the mandatory jute packaging order, as they claim that packing sugar quality in jute bastards affects the quality of packing sugar. They say there is no moisture in the jute bastards that damage the sugar. He said his customers and wholesalers also want to pack Chinese in plastic bags and bastards.
A massive decline in the hemp area
Meanwhile, the Kharif crop crop raw jute (both hemp and mesta) declined to 5.7 lakh hectares in 2024, which was 6.37 lakh hectares in the 2023 season, resulting in the previous year 96.92 lakh lumps of 86.24 Lakh (each).
