Frequently Asked Questions
What does VHP stand for in sugar trading?
VHP stands for Very High Polarization. It refers to raw sugar with a polarity of 96° or higher, produced from sugarcane in Brazil. VHP is the most traded raw sugar grade globally and is primarily used as feedstock for refineries.
What ICUMSA range does VHP sugar have?
VHP raw sugar typically falls within an ICUMSA color range of 600 to 1200 International Units. The exact color depends on the mill and harvest season. LAKAY BUSINESS supplies VHP within this standard range.
Is VHP sugar suitable for direct consumption?
VHP is a raw sugar intended primarily for refining. It is not typically sold as a retail product. Refineries process VHP into white refined sugar (ICUMSA 45 or 150) for consumer markets.
Can VHP sugar be shipped in bulk vessels?
Yes. LAKAY BUSINESS offers VHP in both bulk vessel and bagged formats (50 kg bags or big bags). Bulk is the most common shipping method for VHP due to the large volumes typically traded.
What documentation accompanies a VHP shipment?
Each VHP shipment includes SGS inspection at load, Clean on Board Bill of Lading, and a Certificate of Analysis when bagged. Payment is secured via confirmed DLC or SBLC under UCP 600 / URC rules.
What is the typical lead time for a VHP order?
Lead times depend on laycan availability and vessel scheduling. LAKAY BUSINESS works with disciplined laycans from Santos or Paranaguá and coordinates with buyers to align shipping windows with refinery intake schedules.
