We are End Sellers of Sugar from Brazil/India/Thailand. We have built our relationship with title holders/Mills directly and hold the capacity to move bulk quantities monthly. Sugar business is one of the core trading activities of AMEX and we boast to supply at most competitive prices and terms in international market.
Brazil is a large sugar producer (over 36 million tons), but with very low production of white refined, Icumsa 45 (near 4.5 million tons/year). We should also know that this sugar is disputed by more than 20 large traders. To fulfil the need of sugar producers for finance and security, sugar is traded before production. Therefore, third parties, new comers, will not be able to get large quantities. Most Icumsa 45 is committed in advance to those traders. So, random offers, like 200,000 MT x 12 months, and more, are just nice dreams. Most Brazilian sugar for export is raw brown (VHP), for the refineries to produce Icumsa 45. Brazil also exports large volumes of white crystal sugar, Icumsa 150 (which is perfect for human consumption), mostly in containers.
Thailand is the world’s number two sugar exporter, after Brazil. The Office of Cane and Sugar Board (OCSB) forecasts that in the 2016–2017 crop year Thailand is expected produce 91-92 million tonnes of sugarcane, or 9.1-9.2 million tonnes of sugar, down by three million tonnes from the previous 2015–2016 harvest due to drought early in the growing season and excessive rain during the harvest season.
With over 450 sugar mills, India is the second largest sugar producer in the world. Over 11 million tons of refined sugar is produced, accounting for 60% of the total sugar cane cultivated. Following is the Indian export statistics for sugarcane that counts to about 811027.5 M.
