The five largest sugar producers in 2011 were Brazil, India, the European Union, China, and Thailand. Currently, Brazil is the world's largest sugar-producing country. Brazil exported 17.7 million tons of sugar to other countries, encompassing nearly 40% of the globally traded sugar that year. The fluctuations in sugar production in Brazil alone can significantly affect global sugar prices.
But what does ICUMSA 45 really mean?
ICUMSA - stands for the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis. It is a global organization that consolidates the activities of the National Sugar Analysis Committees of more than thirty member countries. ICUMSA is the only international organization solely concerned with analytical methods for the sugar industry. The ICUMSA grading method allows for a meaningful and accurate description of the product that can be easily understood by stakeholders, regardless of their origin.
