Sugar stocks fall up to 7% on export ban; analysts see limited long-term impact

Despite short-term challenges, analysts see positive medium to long-term prospects for the sector. Capacity expansion for ethanol blending is expected to support future production and sales, mitigating the impact of export restrictions.
