MUMBAI, July 8 (Reuters) - India has extended by two weeks a
deadline for the export of  800,000 tonnes of sugar as annual
monsoon rains make it tough for many producers to move stocks
from factories to ports, the government said on Friday.
    Last month, the world's biggest producer of the sweetener
gave its mills until July 5 to export the sugar, but some mills
missed doing so because of heavy rains.
    Mills are now allowed to export the sugar by July 20, the
government added in its notification.
