Our Strengths in Brazil<\/h2>\n

Brazil is among the world’s major sugar producers and its main sugar exporter, accounting for over 45% of free global sugar trading. The country is also the second largest producer of fuel ethanol, behind the US.<\/p>\n

LDC has originated and marketed raw sugar, white sugar and ethanol in Brazil since the late 1980s, leveraging global expertise in key markets and strategic regions , with trading and execution teams managing the annual movement of millions of tons of products on every continent.<\/p>\n

We operate in partnership with third parties in the bulk sugar terminals at Brazil’s ports of Paranagu\u00e1 and Santos, originating raw sugar from sugarcane (VHP) and crystallized and refined sugar, ready for human consumption, to meet global demand from companies and wholesalers worldwide.<\/p>\n

We also originate hydrous and anhydrous ethanol fuel, and hydrous and neutral ethanol, which are used mainly by the chemical and beverage industries.<\/p>\n

LDC’s expertise in trade flow research and futures markets analyses provides supply and demand insights into both foreign and domestic markets. We share these insights with partners, as the building block for stronger relationships based on trust and mutual benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
