Sugar, a class of sweet-flavored substances

1
 Sugar an important food also commonly known as sucrose is white
crystalline substance, tastes sweet, a carbohydrate and 100% soluble in water.
Sugar (Sucrose) is a natural combination of fructose and glucose. It is very stable
product.
Chemical Formula For Sugar:
12CO2 + 11H2O = C12 H22 O11 + 12 O2
Types Of Sugar:

Raw Refined Crystal

Muscavado Demerara Caster
Icing Premium Liquid Sugar Fine Liquid Sugar
Invert White Crystal Refined - Fine Granulated
Raw Materials For Sugar:
Sugar Cane -- a large tropical grass
Beet Root
Other items used are Corn (only used for sweeteners)

Making Of Sugar

Raw Sugar is made in large refineries by crushing cane sugar (Sachrum

officenarum) or beet root (Beta vulgaris) to obtain juice and boiling this juice
to remove water and processing the juice so obtained to make unrefined raw
sugar. This is sometimes also known as panela.
Generally cane sugar is produced by tropical countries and the beet sugar by
the cold/European areas.

World's Sugar Production:

The world at the moment is annually producing about 133 million tonnes. There
are 110 countries involved in its production. It is estimated that 25 million
tonnes is dumped on the world market below the market price.
 Hello, I'm Sugar, From Brazil

Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane, sugar and fuel alcohol
and one of the most cost efficient producers of sugar. It is also the leading
exporter of sugar. Sugar accounts for about 2 percent of the country's gross
national product, 17 percent of the country's agricultural product.
Sugar ICUMSA 45 is only produced in large quantities after confirmed
sales, in the Brazilian domestic market only industries use this type of
sugar, recently the sugar ICUMSA 45 was introduced in the domestic
market with denomination " Top Quality".
In large quantities stored in warehouse only is Raw sugar, Crystal sugar
ICUMSA 100 and 150.
Out of the 38 million tons of sugar produced in Brazil by 2009 only 4.5
million tons were ICUMSA 45.

The Complex In Logistics

Currently the ports of Santos and Paranagua there many ships

waiting for berthing and consequences for all warehouses are
completely blended.
The cost of storing sugar ICUMSA 45 produced, bagged and stored in
the port is very high, which makes it unfeasible.
Therefore sugar refining, storage and bagging for shipment only be
achieved after the sale effectively.
The average delivery time of sugar at the port ready for shipment can
several 30-45 days depending on the refining, transportation to the
port of load and delay in berthing of vessels.

Past Performance And Proof Of Products
We do not provide history of past transactions as this is against the law and contract
rules established between seller and buyer, NCNDA of ICC - non-circumvention
nondisclosure agreement of International Chamber of Commerce.
Many documents are used fraudulently, therefore can not report past performance nor
provide any copy of SGS inspection, certificates of origin and others.
We had many problems with documents used illegally by companies / brokers who are
acting in the international sugar market on our behalf without our permission.
We do provide proof of product anytime after contract signature and bank to bank swift
with proof of funds or a BCL (Bank Confirmation Letter).
Please do not insist as we understand any communication that is not bank to bank has
no value either for us or for the buyer.
It is very easy to issue a "fake" proof of product without bank to bank communication so
we don't do it.

ICUMSA – International Commission For Uniform Methods Of
Sugar Analysis

Meaning And Working

 ICUMSA is a world-wide body which brings together the activities of the National Committees for Sugar Analysis in more than
thirty member countries. Work is carried out under various Subject headings, each headed by a Referee.
 Methods are recommended for tentative approval by ICUMSA in the first instance. Upon meeting all of the Commission's
requirements, methods are accorded official status. Methods which are demonstrably useful and have found an established
application, or which do not lend themselves to collaborative testing are given an Accepted status"

 An ICUMSA rating is an international unit for expressing the purity of the sugar in solution, and is directly related to the colour of
the sugar. Be aware that there are different types of ICUMSA units. For Brazilian sugar, the lower the ICUMSA figure the whiter the
sugar. However, this is not the case in the E.U. for some unknown reason, which has been the subject of much discussion.
 SGS of Sao Paulo has published specifications for ICUMSA numbers for E.U. product which run contrary to the Brazilian
specifications; for example, in Brazil SGS has an ICUMSA rating of 45 rbu for refined, indicating the highest quality, with other
grades of lower quality (such as Special Extra Crystal) having a higher ICUMSA of 150 and so forth. This rating method is confirmed
by the Institute of Sugar and Alcohol in Brazil.
 The TU is heavily dependent upon "ash points", which are defined as "Conductivity ash, %, expressed to three decimal places"
(British Sugar Corp., Central Laboratory, and ICUMSA Headquarters). Further used to weight the TU is "reflectance Grade Colour"
and "Solution Colour" or "Filtered Colour" as it is referred to, which have formulas for determination equally confusing as the one
for "Ash Points". Thus, as you see, this is not easily understood by the novice.
