Market Research Report :Sugar Industry in India 2012Netscribes, Inc.
For the complete report, get in touch with us at : info@netscribes.com
The Sugar Industry in India is part of Netscribes’ Food & Beverage Series reports. The market will be boosted by the rapidly growing food and beverage industry with increasing production of confectionaries, resulting in increased demand for sugar.
The report begins with the market overview section, providing details on the domestic sugar production and consumption. India is the world’s largest sugar consuming country and is also the second largest in terms of sugar production. The growth of sugar factories along with the sugar industry segments depicts the sugar industry scenario in India. The sugarcane overview section provides a clear idea about the linkage between the sugarcane farmers and millers, including growth of sugarcane production and cane acreage. This is followed by the sugar industry value chain, illustrating the structure and operational mechanism in the sugar plants and sugar refineries, including the distillery and cogeneration process.
The regional distribution section provides a vivid description of the sugar industry in the largest sugar producing states across the country, including Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab and Bihar. This section provides state-wise information, such as no. of sugar factories, sugar production, average sugarcane production, sugarcane area and production.
Factors driving the growth of sugar industry in India are also explained in detail. Growing population coupled with rising income is providing impetus to the growth in the country’s sugar consumption, benefiting the overall sugar industry. India is the world’s second largest populated country, representing about 17.31% of the global population. Aggressive growth in the food and beverage industries will lead to the increasing demand for sugar. High sugar content in confectionaries, including chocolates, pastries and ice-creams, will drive the domestic demand for sugar. By-products, such as ethanol and power via cogeneration provides cross functional and cross business opportunities. Growing pharmaceutical market and low per capita sugar consumption in India provide opportunities for the players to capitalize upon. The challenges hindering the market are illustrated. Oversupply situation coupled with higher cane prices results in declining profit margin for the players in the sugar industry. Cyclical nature of the crop results in volatility in sugar production leading to high cane arrears. The present pricing policy is highly government regulated resulting in limited bargaining power of the sugar millers.
The government initiatives section provides a detailed description about the Pre-Budget Memorandum 2012-13, including removal of 10% levy sugar quota, implementation of tax incentives, Cenvat Credit on Bagasse, tax deduction under section 35 AD and exemption from both se

Brookings Trustee Antoine van Agtmael, senior advisor at public-policy advisory firm Garten Rothkopf and coiner of the term 'emerging market' presents his book, "The Smartest Places on Earth", written with Fred Bakker, former business and finance journalist for Holland’s Het Financieele Dagblad. Originally presented on April 6, 2016 at the Brookings Institution.

Rhode Island innovates: A competitive strategy for the Ocean State
In the fall and winter of 2015–2016, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings worked in association with Battelle Technology Partnership Practice (now TEConomy Partners, LLC) and Monitor Deloitte to advance a new competitive strategy for the state of Rhode Island.
This slideshow summary of the project’s final conclusions finds that Rhode Island possesses unique assets for building an advanced economy that works for all but stands weakened by the decline of its core “advanced industries.” Given that erosion, the slideshow asserts that five advanced industry and two “opportunity industry” growth areas hold out solid potential for growth in the Ocean State and recommends that Rhode Island should embark on a three-part strategy to strengthen its advanced industries and improve its statewide platform for growth.

__
Innovation and STEM-worker (science, technology, engineering, and math) intensive “advanced industries” are the prime movers of regional and national economic competitiveness in the United States. Industries like aerospace and auto, oil and gas extraction, or software and health IT stand at the forefront of the most disruptive technological and business dynamics of the moment, and will be central to U.S. prosperity going forward.
To consider the future of these industries, the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program hosted a major CEOs forum highlighting the importance of the nation’s advanced industries and the opportunities and challenges they face. Informed by new research from Brookings, the morning-long dialogue convened advanced industry CEOs as well as elected officials to discuss the increased viability of the U.S. platform for advanced industry investment as well as the extraordinary technology trends now altering the terms of competition.

__________
At its optimistic best, America has embraced its identity as the world’s melting pot. Today it is on the cusp of becoming a country with no racial majority, and new minorities are poised to exert a profound impact on U.S. society, economy, and politics.
Through a compelling narrative and eye-catching charts and maps, eminent demographer William H. Frey interprets and expounds on the dramatic growth of minority populations in the United States. He finds that without these expanding groups, America could face a bleak future: this new generation of young minorities, who are having children at a faster rate than whites, is infusing our aging labor force with vitality and innovation.
Diversity Explosion shares the good news about diversity in the coming decades, and the more globalized, multiracial country that U.S. is becoming.
