Sugar tastes bitter as prices soar

After the Indian government banned the export of sugar, its impact has been felt in Nepal. The government of India had imposed a ban on the export of sugar from June 1 to balance the price of sugar after its price soared in India. The price of sugar has gone up by Rs. 10 per kg in Nepal in the last two weeks after India imposed the ban, said Amul Kaji Tuladhar, general secretary at the Nepal Retailer Association.
