(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) The Indian government's plan to gradually increase ethanol blending in gasoline, as a way to cut pollution and reduce its oil import bill, could be the largest change in the global sugar market since Europe's sugar reform, and possibly drive a bull market, Trend reports citing Reuters.
According to a report released on Monday by food trader and supply chain services provider Czarnikow Group, India's ethanol program will lead the government to end sugar export subsidies and erase exportable sugar volumes from the country, currently the second-largest producer after Brazil.
Czarnikow's chief analyst Stephen Geldart said in the report that India's plan to push for a 20% ethanol blend to gasoline as soon as 2023, compared to only around 5% currently, will lead to the production of 6 billion liters of ethanol from sugar cane juice and molasses, "reducing local sugar production by more than 6 million tonnes".
"By 2025, India will swing from making at most 33 million tonnes of sugar a year to 27 million tonnes. With consumption today at around 25 million tonnes and likely to grow in the future, India will no longer be a major surplus sugar producer and exporter," the analyst said.

A firefighting airplane of the Forestry Department remains grounded because authorities cannot find a pilot, while an agreement to lease two helicopters for the same purpose has still not been signed, Phileleftheros reported on Thursday.
It said that these were among the issues discussed at a high level meeting held yesterday as government departments prepare for what is expected to be a particularly difficult summer in tackling fires.
The head of the Forestry Department Charalambos Alexandrou said that pilots have not expressed an interest because they consider the salary — €11,500 a month — to be too low. Justice Minister Ionas Nicolaou undertook to resolve the problem by contacting pilots who had expressed an interest to fly police helicopters.
As regards the two helicopters leased by authorities every year to help firefighting efforts, it emerged that the tender launched by Forestry Department had been cancelled and direct negotiations are underway with the company which has expressed an interest and which had leased the helicopters in recent years.
Nicolaou said that all police helicopters will be available and said it was essential that all government departments are ready.
Defence Minister Savvas Angelides said the army should become more involved in fighting fires, while Interior Minister Constantinos Petrides said that there were 3875 fires last year, some of which could have developed into very dangerous fires for forest areas and communities.
He said that because of the dense vegetation following the heavy rains, this summer was expected to be a particularly difficult one and did not rule out additional extra measures being taken.
District officers said that work was already underway to clear the vegetation but said that extra funds would be required.
A new meeting will be held on May 15 to review preparations.

PM, Chief Ministers should be directly elected: Chouhan
Advocating simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls across the country, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday said that the country's Prime Minister and Chief Ministers of the state should be directly elected by people.
"For strengthening democracy further, it is absolutely necessary to hold the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the country simultaneously," Chouhan said at a function organised to mark the Madhya Pradesh Toursim Day.
"Direct elections for the post of Prime Minister and Chief Ministers should also be held," he said.
Noting that time has come for engaging people in a national debate to think over the issue, the Chief Minister said that a lot of time and money was being wasted in holding polls frequently.
"The time and money thus saved can be utilised for the development of the nation and welfare of the people," he said.
Chouhan also advocated the state funding of elections to check the growing expenses on polls resulting in parties emphasising on collecting donations which have its own after-effects.
"The state funding will lead to transparency in public life," he said.

The Fijian Elections Office today launched its Election Readiness Survey Report for the 2022 General Election.
Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem says teams that conducted the survey travelled across Fiji to gauge people’s responses from August 1 to 15, where 8,154 people were engaged.
He adds the report revealed that 96 percent of the people who were surveyed are aware of where they will be voting and four percent did not know where their polling station is.
Saneem says interestingly, that the report also highlights that only 35 percent are aware of all registered political parties, 51 percent are aware of some political parties while 13 percent aren’t aware at all.
He however adds that in some cases, people know the person they would want to vote for but not necessarily the party they belong to.
The Supervisor of Elections says that there is a concern that people might go into the poll without being aware party approaches and what different parties stand for.
This as it has been noted that there may not be enough sufficient material available from different political parties for voters to make their judgment on who they will vote for.
Saneem says part of the group that aren’t well aware are the elderly who don’t have access to parties’ campaign materials that are often streamed on social media page such as Facebook.
He adds that the report also revealed that one percent of those surveyed indicated they will not be voting at the 2022 General Election.
The SOE says the FEO team will be conducting more awareness and pushing out election information to ensure Fijians are well informed.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — Authorities over the weekend detained two foreign nationals who were allegedly drilling an illegal well in southern Shouneh's Kafrain area, a government official said on Saturday.
An area resident reported "a suspicious movement inside a private farm that is likely to be drilling of a well" to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, according to the ministry's official.
Following investigation of the claim, a team of technicians and security personnel raided the location on Saturday, the official noted.
"The illegal well has been sealed, the drilling rig and all of the equipment were seized and confiscated, and two foreign nationals who were involved in the illegal practice were detained by security authorities," the official told The Jordan Times.
Sealing illegal wells is part of the ministry's ongoing campaign against violations on surface and ground water resources, as well as networks and water infrastructure, according to the official, who noted that preventing the digging of new wells is "at the core" of the ministry's daily inspections across the country.
"Authorities are now investigating those detained and work is under way to identify the owner of the farm where the violation was discovered," the official highlighted.
The official source hailed citizens' cooperation with the ministry in unveiling violations on the water resources and networks.
"A substantial number of major water violation cases were recorded because the public is cooperating with us. Since the crackdown on water violations started in 2013, the ministry is seeing a great deal of concern by the public over the issue of water violations," the official noted, underlining that people's awareness on the need to report water violations is increasing.
"Anyone who suspects or sees a violation against water resources and infrastructure is highly encouraged to contact the ministry's unified water emergency number on 117116," the official said.
Recent ministry figures show that 32,000 violations on water networks and resources have been stopped since the campaign started. In addition, a total of 900 illegal wells have been sealed, 53 drilling rigs confiscated and 800 cases referred to courts.
The ministry banned the drilling of wells in 1998 to limit random pumping of water, in order to preserve aquifers from depletion and salinity.
Water theft and violations on the water network and resources are being targeted by the ministry's ongoing campaign, which managed to retrieve a total of 25 million cubic metres of water per year, according to the ministry.

Aviation analysts have predicted that the International air travel is likely to remain sluggish in times to come and could also remain uncertain due to the omicron variant scare. Independent analyst, Brendan Sobie at Sobie Aviation said that the passenger confidence has been affected negatively due to the new variant of the coronavirus as things continue to change everyday.
Sobie while talking to a leading daily said that the recovery of hoping that things could get better in the first half of next year, is not happening. The analyst added that just because the variant continues to be unpredictable, it cannot be predicted what people can expect in near future. While a lot remain unpredictable about the omicron variant, the World Health Organization has warned that the variant is spreading significantly faster than the delta variant that could change the course of the pandemic.
Omicron variant is touted as an infectious variant and has spread in nearly 89 countries so far. This has forced the respective governments to impose strict restrictions and containment measures during the peak holiday season. Singapore on Wednesday said that it would freeze the new ticket sales for quarantine-free travel that would limit the number of imported omicron cases.
The vaccination travel lane program of Singapore was the key towards the pivot of the country’s strategy ‘living with covid’. But the latest move has put a blow to that effort. Sobie added that the Singapore Airlines would have an impact due to the setback and also said that things are not progressing in the right direction. It has also been noticed that it has been a difficult year for the Asia-Pacific carriers and is much worse than what was expected. There was a time when things had just started to look better, but now things are again going in the opposite direction. Travel recovery had just seen the beginning when the omicron variant clouded.

Zambia has so far sprayed about 10,000 hectares of land as part of efforts to control the African Migratory Locusts which have broken out in some provinces, a senior government official said on Tuesday.
Michael Katambo, Minister of Agriculture said the chemicals being sprayed have proved to be effective and shown to reduce the locust population by between 85 to 95 percent.
He told reporters during a press briefing that the International Red Locust Control Organization for Central and Southern Africa has partnered with the Zambia Air Force in conducting aerial sprays in the affected areas.
The Zambian minister however noted that the locusts pose a threat because of being trans-boundary which requires concerted efforts with neighboring countries.
According to him, swarms of locust from neighboring Namibia were entering the country in areas that have already been sprayed hence the need for collaboration.
He said that the government has already engaged the Namibian authorities who have also started the spraying exercise.
The locusts have been located in countries including Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Namibia.

Saidor High school in Raicoast District, Madang Province will be closed for three weeks after the torching of the school’s mess yesterday morning.
School Principal, Ruben Numunepe said he had received instructions from acting Madang Provincial Education Director, John Ura to close the school, while police investigations into the matter continues.
Mr Numunepe broke the news to school management, parents and the community gathered at the school yesterday. They have all agreed on the decision and help police to investigate and bring out the suspects involved.
“The situation at the school is tense and if the students continue classes they might be disturbances and can be attacked on their way home after school,” said the Principal.
He said the other reason for the school’s closure was to give time to parents to build a new mess facility for the boarding students. Mr Numunepe said the boarding students are those whose villages are far and travel in from a long distance.
He said it will be unfair for the school to start and the boarding students will miss classes if they don’t come to school.
“I want the people living near the school to know that the school properties are government assets. The teachers and staff of the school are employees of the government. They are here to serve the people of Saidor and Rai Coast,” said Mr Numunepe.
He warned that the school is the property of Rai Coast people and those involved in the arson, who think they are fit to damage public properties will face their own music.
“We must know how to look after our assets and in return will look after us. The school will produce people who will come back and serve you people in the village.”
The school resumes in term three where the school mess is expected to be complete.

VIJAYAWADA: Stating that there will be a change in the regime after the 2019 polls and the BJP will play a crucial role in it, party national general secretary, Ram Madhav said that the new government will help the victims of the AgriGold financial scam.
Addressing a relay hunger strike launched by the BJP demanding relief for the victims of the AgriGold Scam, in the city on Monday, Mr Ram Madhav said a Hitler kind of rule was taking place in Andhra Pradesh and the state government was totally riddled with corruption. He said the TD had become the Telugu Dopidi Party.
Mr Ram Madhav said that he could see a conspiracy behind the AgriGold episode involving large-scale corruption by the heads of the TD government. He pointed out that though the Essel Group had come forward to buy the properties of AgriGold that would help the victims overcome the crisis; the Andhra Pradesh government had threatened them due to which they had backed off.
He said such protest programmes against the TD government’s alleged corruption was only the beginning and in the future the BJP would organise many such protests across the state against the large-scale corruption.
Rajya Sabha member, G.V.L. Narasimha Rao said that Bihar’s Lalu Yadav kind of corrupt governance was going on in Andhra Pradesh and the TD would also face the same fate of RJD in Bihar.
BJP state president, Kanna Lakshminarayana said that the state government heads had been trying to undervalue the properties and most valuable assets of AgriGold and grab them at dirt cheap prices.
He also said that Rs 3,000 crore worth Haailand resort in Guntur district was undervalued at `200 crore. The relay hunger strike launched on Monday will continue for the next four days across the state.
