Sugar
Refined white, raw and organic cane sugar from verified mills, for food manufacturers, refiners and distributors.
Overview
Sugar is graded mainly by ICUMSA colour, polarisation and moisture. Refined white sugar such as ICUMSA 45 goes straight to food and drink manufacturers, while raw sugar is bought by refiners.
Sugar is also one of the commodities most associated with fake offers. We confirm the mill, the allocation and the documents before any sugar offer reaches a buyer.

Frequently asked questions
What does ICUMSA mean?
ICUMSA is the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis. The ICUMSA number measures colour: the lower the number, the whiter and more refined the sugar.
How is sugar packed?
Commonly in 50 kg polypropylene bags with an inner liner, or in 1 tonne big bags, shipped in containers or bulk.
Why is sugar trading known for scams?
Sugar attracts large numbers of unverified offers passed along broker chains. We only work from a confirmed mill or seller with documents we have checked.
