The country is the largest consumer of sugar and usually consumes all sugar produced domestically. About 62-65% of sugar is consumed directly by bulk users. While consumption has been growing historically, the production has been cyclical. Sugarcane is primarily grown in nine states of India: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
