About Sugar<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Sugar is a caloric concentrated commodity produced from sugarcane or sugar beets. Sugarcane grows best in tropical areas, as it demands large quantities of sunshine and water, whereas sugar beet is produced in temperate zones.<\/p>\n

South America and Asia dominate sugar exports. Brazil is by far the largest potential producer and exporter, but might choose to maximize ethanol production in a low sugar price environment, making global supply highly flexible.<\/p>\n

The largest importers are China, Indonesia, the Middle East, the Black Sea region and Africa.<\/p>\n

As both large producers and consumers, India and the EU swing from net exporters to net importers, depending on local production conditions, and have a significant influence on the world market.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Our Strengths in Singapore<\/h2>\n

Dealing in both raw and white sugar, our Sugar Platform in the region mainly originates sugar from Thailand and Australia.<\/p>\n

We are strongly focused on growing our presence through long-term contracts in key destinations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, China and India.<\/p>\n

We are also embarking on a new warehousing project in Thailand, with the capacity to store 250,000 MT of raw sugar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Committed to Sustainability<\/h2>\n \n
\n

We support\u00a0Bonsucro’s<\/a>\u00a0efforts to increase the adoption of its standards and practices for the responsible production of sugar.<\/p>\n

All relevant LDC facilities and trading entities are Bonsucro-certified and, since we do not grow sugar ourselves, we take steps to promote the organization to our suppliers and to merchandize Bonsucro-certified sugar wherever possible.<\/p>\n

In 2019, we were able to supply all customers in the US with Bonsucro-certified sugar. In the same year, we introduced a new water-saving decolorization process at our Imperial Sugar refinery in Port Wentworth (GA), US.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n
