BRAZIL'S SUGAR MARKET TRENDS: JUNE 2024 ANALYSIS AND LAKAY BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Brazil is a sugar powerhouse. It ships three main grades: ICUMSA 45 (white refined for direct use), VHP (high-polarization raw for refineries), and raw sugar with more molasses for industrial or further refining. In June 2024, prices swung on weather-hit yields, global demand shifts, and policy moves. LAKAY BUSINESS cuts through the noise—real-time market read, vetted mill partners, tight specs and quality control, hard-nosed negotiation, and end-to-end logistics—so buyers get bankable contracts and competitive terms without the broker theater.

Understanding Sugar Types in Brazil

Brazil, renowned for its vast sugarcane fields, stands as a global powerhouse in sugar production and export. The country produces various types of sugar, each serving different market needs:

  • ICUMSA 45 (White Refined Sugar): This highly refined sugar is known for its purity and is predominantly used in the food and beverage industry.
  • VHP (Very High Polarization) Sugar: A type of raw sugar with high sucrose content, VHP sugar is less refined than ICUMSA 45 and is often exported for further refining.
  • Raw Sugar: This sugar retains more molasses than white refined sugar, giving it a brown color and making it ideal for industrial use or further refinement.
