Sugar prices rise on improved bulk consumers' demand

Navi Mumbai, Nov 30 (UNI) Wholesale spot sugar prices today advanced by Rs 10 per quintal on renewed brisk buying support from bulk consumers and sweetmakers and less stocks arrival from co-operative mills, traders at the Bombay Sugar Merchant's Association said.

Prices of small and medium grades (per quintal) rose by Rs ten and Rs five respectively due to reduced offers from stock-holders.
