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.

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.

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 area of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production in the Eastern Plains of Nepal is decreasing every year due to several factors, including increasing cost of cultivation, lower yield, lower and delay payment, insect and diseases problems. A study was conducted to analyze the productivity and profitability of sugarcane production in this region, where, a randomly selected 80 sugarcane farmers from Sunsari and Morang districts were administered with the questionnaire to collect data between 2017 and 2018. Results of the study revealed that farmers were male dominant (67.50%) with average landholdings of 1.30 hectares (ha). The dominant age group in the farming community was 51 to 60 years and 58.75% of farmers had a primary level of education. The sugarcane production in the study area was profitable with benefit and cost ratio (B/C) 1.38 and 1.34 for main and ratoon crops, respectively. The net income was NRs. 91369.70 and NRs. 36065.00 for main and ratoon crops, respectively. The coefficient of multiple determinations (R2) was 0.79, which means that variations in the explanatory variable explained 79.80% of the variation in the dependent variable. Lower productivity, unscientific price fixation, and delay payment of the sugarcane by the sugar mills were the major problems found in the study area. Labor expenses constitute half of the total cost of cultivation, so mechanizations are needed to lower the cost and increase the profit. Co-coordination among different stakeholders, including the government entity, is required for scientific pricing and sustainable production of sugarcane.

 Eastern Uttar Pradesh has a number of mills including large as well as small and ancillaries units because of availability of sufficient amount of sugarcane in this area. It has fertile plain which is highly suitable for cultivation of sugarcane, but many factors related to sugarcane cultivation as well as sugar mills have pushed the sugar industry to be agglomerated at some places which ultimately brought regional variation in distribution patterns and grouped in some clusters. This paper analyses the distribution pattern and clustering of sugar industry in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The study is based on primary as well as secondary data including number of industrial units, capital investment and involved employment. Out of total 30 working mills, 25 mills make clusters occupying eight districts, i.e., Kushinagar, Deoria, Gorakhpur, Mahrajganj and Bahraich, Balrampur, Gonda, Basti. These clusters are located in the Saryupar plain as well as Tarai region which show that sugar industry is exclusively developed in intensive sugarcane production areas.

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.

Consumers’ interest in organic products is increasing globally. As IFOAM 2016 report, only 1.2 % of the land has been utilized in organic agriculture method. The overall organic market has achieved 89.7 billion $ in 2016 in that, & 48.4 a billion in sales accounted for the USA and German alone. Total registered organic producer in the worldwide is 2.7 million in that India is the leading country which has 835,200 organic producers. But many of them are a small farmer, and they had shared 1.49 million hectares only. The Government of India (GOI) and the state governments have taken several steps to improve the regulatory mechanism and frame several schemes to incentivize organic farming. 2017 December, Food Standards and Safety Authority of India (FSSAI) have recognized both the certification systems (NPOP and PGS-India) valid for organic food products. From these steps, GOI has tried to create confidence in the organic products, so that, domestic consumers and export countries can trust Indian organic products. But still, the organic sector in India suffered from some unique characteristic that is the absence of proper branding, package, consumer awareness, purchasing power, and supply chain issues (Agarwal, 2018).

The core executive is a new concept replacing the conventional debate about the power of the prime minister and the Cabinet. It refers to all those organizations and procedures that coordinate central government policies, and act as final arbiters of conflict between different parts of the government machine. In brief, the ‘core executive’ is the heart of the machine. The chapter reviews the several approaches to studying the British executive: prime ministerial government; prime ministerial cliques; Cabinet government; ministerial government; segmented decision-making; and bureaucratic coordination. It then discusses several ways forward by developing new theory and methods. The Afterword discusses the core executive as interlocking networks, and the fluctuating patterns of executive politics.
