Refineries
Raw cane sugar as refinery intake.

Applications
Food manufacturing
Refined grades for industrial food production.
Beverages
Bottlers and beverage manufacturers worldwide.
Distribution
Packed refined sugar for wholesale and retail channels.
Sourcing regions
Established milling regions
We work with mills across South Asia and Oceania, with sourcing today in Pakistan and Australia. Demand comes from refineries and food and beverage manufacturers worldwide rather than from a fixed set of destinations.
Market context
Transparent reference pricing
Because sugar has a liquid futures market, both buyer and seller can be shown a transparent, independently verifiable reference price. For a counterparty working with us for the first time, that is a concrete point of trust rather than an assurance.
