Sugar
Sugar is primarily used as a sweetening agent in food and beverage production. It is obtained from both sugar cane and sugar beet. Approximately 74.4% of the sugar produced worldwide comes from sugar cane. The sugar derived from sugar cane is heavily consumed in industrial production as raw sugar or glucose syrup.
Countries like Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Mexico are major producers of sugar cane. In Turkey, sugar cane is not cultivated; instead, sugar beet farming is practiced due to favorable climate conditions. Sugar cane contains about 12-16% sugar.
Sugar beet farming began in the 19th century, and sugar beet accounts for 25.6% of the sugar produced globally. Sugar cane is grown in tropical and subtropical regions, while sugar beet thrives in more temperate areas.
ICUMSA 45, known as high-quality sugar in trade, is among the most sought-after types due to its purity and brightness. It undergoes intense refining processes to eliminate bacteria, making it suitable for human consumption and food production.
As we pursue our vision and strategies to lead the sugar trade in the Middle East, we fulfill our responsibilities towards nature and humanity within the framework of sustainability, providing solutions to meet the needs that arise in the market.
