Our Strengths

Global Commercial Footprint

We operate a robust origination and destination network, through our main office hubs located in Geneva, São Paulo, Shanghai and Singapore. We source sugar primarily from Brazil, Thailand and Central America, and distribute to East Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, Africa and North America. Our deep market knowledge and merchandizing expertise allow us to adapt swiftly to changing market dynamics and customer needs.

Strategic Logistics in Brazil

Our logistics infrastructure in Brazil is a cornerstone of our competitive edge. We recently inaugurated an intermodal sugar terminal in Pederneiras, designed for strategic product storage and efficient road-to-rail transport. This facility complements our operations at the Guarujá Sugar Export Terminal (TEAG), in Santos, enabling seamless movement of sugar from mills to global markets as well as securing to our clients a unique logistics solution, fully traceable.

Data-Driven Insights

We invest heavily in research and data analytics to enhance crop predictability and supply chain efficiency. Using satellite imagery and advanced statistical modeling, we estimate supply and demand from acreage to final consumption across major markets. These insights strengthen our customers relationships and support informed decision-making in volatile markets.
