Sugar
Brazil is currently the largest producer of sugarcane in the world, accounting for 48% of global exports of this commodity. The term ICUMSA is an acronym for the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis.
Icumsa 45
ICUMSA 45 sugar, known today as white sugar, is one of the most sought-after by global sugar importers due to its purity and whiteness level. As the highest quality sugar available in the market currently, ICUMSA 45 sugar has a sparkling white color and is highly refined, suitable for human consumption and use in a wide range of food productions. Additionally, it has high demand because it is considered safer, as its refining process removes bacteria and contaminants present in raw sugars.
Icumsa 150
Known today as crystal sugar, it is widely used in large-scale baking and in the production of beverages and foods. Formed through the crystallization process, without chemical refining, crystal sugar serves as a lower-cost substitute compared to ICUMSA 45 sugar, as it contains fewer chemicals in its composition.
Icumsa 600-1200
Known as Brown Sugar, ICUMSA 600-1200 is 100% raw refined and its production is done after the first crystallization of sugarcane. This sugar is coarser than white sugar, known as ICUMSA 45, and its color is brownish. Raw brown sugar from sugarcane, when fully refined, contains about 70% white sugar.
