Indian sugarcane acreage has estimated to be around 5.23 million hectares (ha) during 2014-15 sugar season, down by 2 per cent, as compared to the same period last year, Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) said in a statement.
The estimates were released after detailed analysis of satellite images of mid-June, 2014 on the sugarcane acreage across the country procured by ISMA.
ISMA has made its preliminary estimates of sugar production for 2014-15 sugar season (October 2014 to September 2015)
