Sugar


Wholesale sugar enables food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries to procure bulk quantities directly from manufacturers or commodity traders, bypassing retail packaging and benefiting from significant cost savings. Available in various bulk sizes from 25 kg bags to full shipping containers, wholesale sugar is sourced globally, with key origins in Brazil, Thailand, and India.
Cost Efficiency: Purchasing in bulk offers substantial savings, typically 20-30% lower than retail packaged options, ideal for high-volume users.
Quality Assurance: Establishing direct contracts with sugar mills or traders ensures control over refining processes, allowing customization of sugar characteristics like grain size, color, and moisture content.
Inventory Management: Scheduled bulk deliveries enable efficient stock management, reducing storage complexities associated with smaller retail packaging.
Price Stability: Long-term contracts help stabilize prices amidst market fluctuations, providing financial predictability for buyers.
- Polarization: Typically 99.0% to 99.9%, indicating sucrose content and purity.
- ICUMSA Scale: Grades sugar color from 45 (sparkling white) to 150 (light brown) for refined sugar; 1200-5000 for raw sugar.
- Moisture Content: Critical for flowability, around 0.05% max for refined, 0.15% for raw sugar.
- Ash Content: Residual mineral content, minimal at 0.05% or less for refined grades.
- Granulation: Grain size impacts solubility, typically 0.6-1.2mm for refined sugar.
- Microbiological Standards: Free from pathogens like Salmonella or E. coli, with limits on yeast and mold.
- Heavy Metals: Within regulatory limits for lead, arsenic, and mercury.
- SO2 Content: Residual sulfur dioxide not exceeding 10 ppm, a bleaching agent in sugar refining.
- Dietary Fiber: Less than 0.5% for refined sugar.
- Crop Origin: Major sources include Brazil, Thailand, and India.
- Packaging: Commonly packed in 50 kg polypropylene bags or 1-1.25 ton totes, suitable for bulk vessel shipments.
- Used extensively in food processing, confectionery, beverage production, and pharmaceutical formulations, wholesale refined sugar meets diverse industrial needs with consistent quality and reliability.
