Rising sugar prices have pushed sweet shop owners in Jaipur to raise prices by 10-12%, prompting concerns over reduced demand during festive seasons.
The cost of sugar has risen sharply across India, and Jaipur’s sweet‑making industry is feeling the pinch.
According to reports from Amar Ujala, the price hike has forced sweet shop owners to increase the cost of their products by 10‑12%.
The higher input cost is expected to dampen demand during the festive season, when families traditionally buy large quantities of sweets.
Some shopkeepers say they may have to reduce the size of their sweets or scale back catering services to keep margins viable.
