Karnataka state stands 3rd position in terms of sugar production and 4th position in cultivation of sugarcane in the India. In fact, there are presently around 64 working sugar factories with annual crushing capacity of 3.29 lakh MT/day, cogeneration capacity of 1500 MW/day, alcohol production capacity of 2100 KLPD and ethanol production capacity of 1130 KLPD. In the year 2017-18, Karnataka sugar industry had crushed a total of 347.5 lakh MT of cane and produced around 36.87 Lakh MT of sugar. The sugar industry in Karnataka is able to manufacture sugar in such huge quantities due to the fact that sugarcane is abundantly available in the state. But, Karnataka encounters up and down situations of sugar production and price fluctuations after few years. However, it is realized that the importance of integrated sugar-energy complexes to counterbalance the problem of wide sugar price fluctuation in domestic market. In the present work we undertook the cost-profit analysis of production of alcohol, power and bio-compost in sugar industry of Karnataka. We found that the economic returns on capital invested on sugar mills in Karnataka would be stable, if co-products i.e. bagasse, molasses and press mud are efficiently used for production of bio-ethanol, power and bio-compost.

Capacity Utilization Rate

Under utilization of production capacity is a common issue for Nepalese manufacturing enterprises and sugar industry is no exception to this. This study mainly deals with the cause of underutilization of production capacity of Nepalese sugar mills as well as the market situation of sugar and sugarcane. Inspite of sufficient production of sugarcane, the sugar mills do not get adequate quantity and proper quality of sugarcane at right time. Almost half of the sugarcane production has no market which reveals the poor procurement system. The approved production capacity of Nepalese sugar mills is more than domestic requirement of sugar. However, the unfulfilled demand for sugar is fulfilled mainly by imported as well as smuggled Indian sugar. The capacity utilization rate of Nepalese sugar industry, which has been decreasing, dropped to 45percent in FY 2008/09. The main identified reasons are stoppage, breakdown and slow motion of machines, delay in settlement of minimum support price of sugarcane and late commencement of production season, political instability, less operation days of sugar mills and ultimately the overlook of sugar producers to utilize their full capacity of production. Measures to improve the capacity utilization rate of sugar mills have become an urgent need.

Sugar Development

India is the original place of sugarcane production. Sugar cane is used to prepare sugar and its other forms in India. In 1920, the then Governor-General of India established the Indian Sugar Committee, wishing a bright future for the business of sugar. In the year 1930, a Tariff Board was established on the recommendation of the sub-Committee of the Research Council of India. In this, the Government of India was recommended to protect the sugar industry. Though in Pratappur, UP, India’s first sugar mill was established, yet the farmers were facing numerous problems due to lack of installed system. The Government of India passed Sugar cane act 1934 and through which authorised state Governments to control prices of sugar manufactured by different sugar mills. In Uttar Pradesh, the Department of Sugar Development was established in 1935. The paper discusses the policies and their implementation in the field of sugar production.

The Sudanese sugar industry has been suffering from a decline of sugar production. The production of the six sugar mills has dropped in 9 years by 32%, from 775,000 t in 2008 to 526,000 t in 2017. At the Kenana sugar mill, which produces 50% of the country’s sugar, production declined by 25.8% in the period. Production also decreased by 24%, 50.2%, 36.1% and 42.7%, respectively, at the Guneid, Halfa, Sennar and Assalaya factories. The lower sugar production has led to the annual imports of about 599,500 t of sugar. The reasons for the decline in sugar production are discussed below.

The article discusses and analyzes the construction of liquid-jet sulfitators used in the beet sugar industry. The importance of sulfitation treatment in the sugar beet processing and raw cane sugar technology is noted and the main advantages of its use at various technological stages are given, namely, preparation of extractant used for diffusion sucrose extraction out of beet cossettes, thin juice processing, thick juice with B- and C-remelts processing, as well as raw cane sugar remelt processing. The advantages and disadvantages of liquid-jet sulfitators in comparison with other constructions are noted and criteria for their improvement are given. It has been noted that the created ejection, which sucks in the sulphitation gas into the contacting chamber, and the fact that the absorption of sulfur dioxide occurs on a larger surface than in other types of structures the main advantages of liquid-jet sulphitators. The main disadvantages are the short length of the contacting chamber, which is insufficient for ensuring complete absorption of sulfur dioxide, as well as instability of the generated ejection when the productivity changes. This determines the criteria given in the article for the improvement of liquid-jet sulfitators. The description of the developed construction of the sulphitator centrifugal-jet nozzle of sugar production liquids is given, which provides: the stability of the sulphitation gas supply in a wide range of plant productivity; stability of the hydroaerodynamic regime of the system «treated liquid – sulphitation gas» inside the sulphitator; sufficient contact time for complete dissolution in the treated liquid of the sulfur anhydride contained in the sulphitation gas. The advantages of the developed centrifugal-jet sulfitators in comparison with typical liquid-jet sulfitators are noted: ensuring the operation range of 50-120% of the nominal capacity (plant production capacity); significant reduction in the technical sulfur consumption for the sulphur anhydride production, which is used as a reagent for the sulfitation treatment of liquids in beet sugar processing; reduction of harmful emissions into the atmosphere due to 100 % sulfur anhydride dissolution in the treated liquid.

Abstract Background: The sugar beet is the main field crop used for sugar production in the temperate climatic zone. The abolishment of the quota system will open new investment opportunities in countries that were forced to abandon sugar industry as the result of the reform in 2006. Present paper describes the modeling of sugar beet production and its processing into sugar for purpose of decision support. Methods: A system dynamics methodology was chosen to model impacts of regional sugar factory investment. We present two basic concepts of system dynamics models at causal loop diagram level. The first holistic model deals with regional planning of new product development and the second one deals with factory model. Results: The holistic model presented main feedback loops and dynamics of main elements in the case of regional investment into sugar industry. The factory model considered the specifics of the beet processing which is a) limited period of beet processing and b) initial adjustment to the production capacity at the start of the production season Conclusions: The model seeks answers to strategic questions related to the whole sugar beet production and processing system and will be used for simulation of different scenarios for sugar production and their impact on economic and environmental parameters at an aggregate level.

Indonesia was the 2nd largest exporter of sugar after Cuba in 1930 but we became the 2nd largest importer of sugar on 1999. The government launched protection and promotion policy to save the sugar industry since 2000. Protection policy is practiced by imposing some import tariff while government promoted Increase in Acceleration of National Sugar Production Program since 2002. The goal is to reach sugar self sufficiency for household consumption on 2007 and for both household and industry consumption on2009.There are some basic things which notes the importance of sugar self sufficiency in Indonesia. First, maintain food sustainability. Second to maximize sugar industry capacity that is quite big. Third, to develop domestic sugar industry which we presume can meet the national consumption needs. Fourth, to save our reverse that is used to import sugar and to protect domestic sugar industiy in the unhealthy/unfair competition.The purpose of this study is to reveal and to measure the possibility of the government self sufficiency program to success by examining the relationship of production capacity, consumption level, sugar import level.

Yield And Quality

During the processing of frozen and thawed sugar beets, invert sugar, in particular glucose and fructose, accumulates in them. This is due to the process of hydrolysis of carbohydrates. As a result of temperature fluctuations, beets lose elasticity, and tissue walls become soft. The activity of microorganisms intensifies on damaged beets. In the sugar industry, harmful microorganisms enter the production with raw materials, water, unwashed soil and air. Under improper storage conditions of raw materials the rapid development of microorganisms begins leading to sugar loss. The microflora of raw materials in sugar production is due to spore-forming and non-spore-forming bacteria, as well as micromycetes. Processing in the production of such raw materials is complicated. This leads to non-rhythmic operation of the sugar factory, technological processes and metal corrosion of technological equipment. Sugar yield and quality are significantly reduced. An important factor is the protection from the formation of microbial biofilms. The article considers the problem of formation of microbial biofilm in the process of obtaining diffusion juice in the sugar industry. The structure of the biofilm and its stability over time are considered. Under the conditions of active biofilm formation, uncontrolled unaccounted losses of sucrose are observed. Under conditions of low-quality beet processing, biocides and enzymes must be used in the production. They reduce the contamination of intermediate products by microorganisms, greatly facilitate the technological process. They also allow you to predict unaccounted sugar losses and improve its quality and yield. The article considers the effect of different types of biocides on dextran, which is an example of the formation of microbial biofilms. The comparative characteristic of influence of biocides on dextran is given and their resistance is noted.

AbstractLegumes seem to have been cultivated and to have formed an essential part of the human diet during the Greek and Roman periods. This paper examines the cultivation of pulses in Cyrenaica during the Hellenistic era. It considers the regional production capacity for legumes to meet local needs and argues the involvement of different kinds of pulses in interregional commerce alongside cereals and other dry grains. This study has been implemented via investigating Hellenistic epigraphic evidence from Cyrene. It has traced the cost of pulses mentioned in inscriptions of the fourth and third/second centuries BC and compared them with that of wheat and barley. Pulses and cereal costs indicated by Diocletian's ‘Edict on Maximum Prices of AD 301’ have also been investigated to assess the general trend of their prices over time. The examination demonstrates that varieties of pulses were produced in Cyrenaica during the Hellenistic era and were likely as significant as wheat and barley. It also indicates that they were probably traded from the region alongside other dry commodities.

The Cost

The Resource Tax Law was officially implemented on September 1, 2020, in China. This law presents the “Fee-to-Tax” reform of water resources. This article compares the effects of the “Fee-to-Tax” reform under asymmetric duopoly conditions with perfect information. The mechanisms of the two policies are different when all firms simultaneously respond to water resources: the water resource fee affects output by reducing market size, while the water resource tax reduces output by amplifying the weighted cost difference effects between companies. Water resource taxes work better than fees for eliminating backward production capacity. A comparison of the situation when companies respond sequentially is also carried out. When a low-cost firm is in the leading position, the collection of fees actually reduces the output difference, whereas the tax improves it. When a high-cost firm acts as a leader, the effects depend on the cost difference. When the cost difference between firms is small, the first-move advantage of high-cost firms dominates the cost advantages of low-cost firms. Therefore, a higher tax rate yields a smaller output difference. When cost differences are relatively larger, the cost advantage of low-cost firms dominates the first-move advantage of high-cost firms. As the operational cost for reducing water consumption increases, the reduced water consumption first increases and then decreases.
