Sugars
Currently, about 110 countries produce sugar from either cane or beet, and eight countries produce sugar from both cane and beet. Sugarcane, on average, accounts for nearly 80% of global sugar production. 1WEC is a global leader in raw and refined sugar origination, merchandizing and marketing, and networked with the largest sugar millers / refiners and distributors in the World. No matter your sugar requirements – raw materials ( sugar cane / sugar beet ) , raw sugar, granulated sugar, refined sugar, liquid sucrose – 1WEC has the right product to deliver the taste and texture you demand. Plus, our renowned customer service staff ensures your satisfaction every step of the way. We have a strong, strategic network of business partners to supply you with the sugar you need (see below).
- At 1WEC we trade raw and white sugar, bulk and bag, for shipment in containers and vessels.

In between our partners operate sugar mills, cogeneration plants, ethanol distilleries, and sugar refineries across the globe, linking key origins and destinations through a market-leading merchandising team headquartered in New York, Houston and Mumbai.
Milling – The milling of sugar cane produces raw sugar and also by-products such as bagasse and molasses. We are networked with the largest mills in the world which as a result of economies of scale, the prime location of and surrounding sugarcane / sugarbeet suppliers, are able to operate milling operations in a cost effective manner. These mills generate their own electricity by burning bagasse – the fibrous material left over from crushed sugar cane or sugar beet. Excess electricity is either used internally or sold to the national power grid. Molasses, another by-product of sugar milling, is used as an additive for livestock feed and to produce ethanol.
Refining – The refining of sugar produces food-grade products such as white sugar, brown sugar, caster sugar and syrups. The sugar refining process involves the removal of impurities and colour from raw sugar and the further refinement of sugar crystals. We supply a broad range of high-quality industrial and consumer products which are distributed in both bulk and packaged forms. We are networked with largest sugar refiners globally with operations in Australia, India, Indonesia, Morocco and New Zealand.
We ship and distribute sugar to customers, industrials, distributors and end-users through offices in Americas, APAC, EMEA and other consuming countries worldwide.
- Refined Sugar – ICUMSA-45 Sugar is a most Highly Refined form of Sugar. ICUMSA-45 Sugar has a Sparkling White Color, and is the type most often sold direct to Consumers. It is suitable for Human Consumption and use in a wide range of Food applications. It is perpetually in High demand as it is the safest form of Sugar, due to the fact that the refining process by which it is created removes the Bacteria and Contaminants often present in raw sugars.
- Icumsa 45 white sugar, dissolves easily, to stay white and refined is added chemical additives such as sulfur that leaves it white and flavorful.
- This eliminates vitamins and minerals thus removing nutrients.
- Granulometry: very fine.
- Color white
