E. Even if there is a decline next year, the association expects the total production to be higher than the consumption.

F. It is one of the unprecedented years for the sugar industry in the country, as the sugar season of 2018-2019 is expected to end in September with a high closing stock of nearly 14.5 million tonnes.

Which of the following sentences can be inserted between the first and the second sentence after rearrangement without changing the meaning of the paragraph?

International price for sugar (white sugar) in the current season is nearly ₹10 a kg less compared to the domestic price.

Though sugar production in the next season might be lower compared with the current one, the focus of the industry and the government will largely be on reducing the inventory.

In an effort to encourage exports and to make them attractive, the government had not only fixed mill-wise export quota, but also linked some of the subsidy schemes to exports.

Yet, almost 35% of the industry did not participate for various reasons such as lack of adequate production or stringent conditions to avail the subsidy.

The industry has suggested to the government to make the export quota as an industry-wide quota, rather than mill-specific.

Which of the following sentences can be inserted between the first and the second sentence after rearrangement without changing the meaning of the paragraph?
