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.
