Sugar

Our Sources

Fairtrade is a movement that seeks to promote social and environmental sustainability in the production of goods, including sugar.

Brazil is a major player in the global sugar industry, accounting for a significant share of global sugar production. Sugarcane is the primary raw material used for sugar production in Brazil. The main sugarcane-growing regions are located in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Mato Grosso do Sul.

​

Brazil produces both raw sugar and refined sugar. Raw sugar, also known as VHP (Very High Polarization) sugar, is a common export product. Refined sugar is produced through further processing and purification of raw sugar, and it is used in various food and beverage applications.

The sugar industry in Brazil is characterized by a mix of large corporate players, cooperatives, and small-scale farmers. Many sugarcane mills are integrated operations, meaning they produce both sugar and ethanol.

India is consistently among the top three sugar-producing countries globally. The sugarcane crop is the primary source of sugar production in India. The major sugar-producing states in India include Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.

The sugar industry in India is characterized by the presence of cooperative sugar mills, where farmers are shareholders and supply sugarcane to the mills. These cooperatives play a crucial role in supporting farmers and rural development.
