SUGAR
Projects
Sugar is a natural ingredient that has always been in our diet. It is also one of the world’s oldest documented commodities. It is widely believed that cane sugar was first used by man in Polynesia from where it spread to India. The extraction of sugar cane juice from the sugarcane plant, and the subsequent domestication of the plant in tropical Southeast Asia happened sometime around 4,000 BC. The manufacture of cane sugar granules from sugarcane juice in India started a little over two thousand years ago, followed by improvements in refining the crystal granules in India in the early centuries AD. The manufacturing of cane sugar and cultivation spread to the medieval Islamic world together with some improvements of production methods. The spread of cultivation and manufacture of cane sugar to the West Indies and tropical parts of the Americas started in the beginning of 16th century, followed by more intensive improvements in production in the 17th through 19th centuries in that part of the world. The development of beet sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Sugar for commercial use is produced from sugarcane and beet.
We are a fast-growing sugar exporter in the region. We export brown and white sugar to many destinations across the globe. We source sugar from producers in India, Brazil and Thailand.
BROWN SUGAR
Mixing white sugar crystals with various amounts of molasses results in a soft, lumpy product called brown sugar. The amount of molasses added depends on the producer, but you could expect light brown sugar to contain 3.5 percent molasses, while dark brown sugar might contain 6.5 percent molasses.Brown sugar imparts the taste of molasses to recipes and adds moisture to make a softer texture.

WHITE REFINED SUGAR
At the refinery, the raw sugar and molasses mixture undergoes further washing with hot water and separation through centrifugation and filtration. The naturally white crystals that remain are 99.9 percent sucrose. This sugar can go to grinding machines that produce different sizes of granules — everything from crystals to powders — for use in household and commercial cooking and flavoring. It is most commonly used in our daily lives, White sugar is produced for day to day consumption. Prevails mostly in countries which have sugarcane plantation. This is otherwise called as table Sugar.

WHITE CRYSTAL SUGAR
White Crystal Sugar, ICUMSA 150, is the recommendation for most customers because it contains fewer chemicals. White Crystal Sugar is produced using a crystallization process without chemical refining.
