Answer
(i) Sugarcane is a weight losing commodity because its sucrose content goes on decreasing with time. Therefore, it is necessary to crush sugarcane within 24 hours of harvesting.
(ii) Uttar Pradesh has been relegated to second place in terms of sugar production because of old mills, management and labour problems and shorter crushing period.
(iii) India has restricted sugar exports due to a drop in domestic production caused by poor rainfall. The ban helps ensure enough sugar is available within the country, keeps prices stable, and supports essential uses like domestic consumption and ethanol production.
