Indian sugar futures dropped on Wednesday as traders booked profits after a 11 percent gain in the past month, but spot prices continued to rally on robust summer demand from beverage and ice-cream makers. "Profit-booking was there. Fundamentals are still supportive for upside," Veeresh Hiremath, an analyst at Karvy Comtrade Ltd, said.
Indias sugar output will fall to 14.2 million tonnes in 2008/09, down 8.4 percent from previous estimates, as lower cane availability forced mills to end crushing earlier than expected, a top trade official said last week.
