Indian companies have gone and acquired companies abroad in several sectors such as software, chemicals, FMCG, metals, engineering. But in the sugar sector, we have not seen any major foray abroad.
Shree Renuka Sugars has become the first sugar player to acquire a company in Brazil, the largest sugar producer and exporter in the world with India being the largest consumer. In recent times, India has relinquished its status as a sugar exporter, and the rising demand has made it an importer.
