We can produce 700,000 tons of VHP sugar, an amount equivalent to sweetening more than 20 million birthday parties after refining.
VHP sugar, which means Very High Polarization, is raw sugar, which is less moist and still has a layer of honey that covers the sugar crystal, which is why its color is similar to that of honey. VHP sugar is used as a raw material for refined sugar, which is known and marketed in supermarkets around the world.
That sugarcane has existed since the year 20 thousand before Christ? Its origin was in India, but it was the Egyptians and Arabs that spread it around the world and created the process of refinement. Brazil is one of the largest sugarcane producers in the world.
Our VHP sugar is produced at the Conquista do Pontal and Eldorado Units. Learn more about where our operations are here.
