There are several types of sugar suppliers in Brazil. We will present below some of them

Today in Brazil, there are more than 400 plants in Brazil, but contrary to what many importers believe, they are not exporters, they do not even have a license to export.

The largest sugarcane plant in Brazil and in the world is located in the São Paulo municipality of Pradópolis, Usina São Martinho (Metropolitan Region of Ribeirão Preto), which has the capacity to grind 10 million tons per year. The cane harvesters alone cover an average of 3,500 km per day. (Source: novacana.com)

The mills are focused on the production of sugar, ethanol and other by-products, but do not sell the product domestically or to other praises, so they sell the sugar to companies that have preferential quotas.

COOPERATIVES

Copersucar is a global sugar and ethanol trader, with integrated logistics throughout the business chain, operational excellence and sustainable value generation.

Cooperatives buy sugar from mills and sell it on the global market, selling it to the domestic and foreign markets.

They serve both exporting companies and foreign importers.

TRADING (IMPORT AND EXPORT)

These companies buy from cooperatives and in some specific cases directly at sugar mills.

They negotiate their products in the physical market and are able to meet small demands and also orders for full ships or even a 12-month contract.

SUGAR TRADERS

Some companies offer sugar in the foreign market, prospect new customers, but do not fit any of the profiles above. They are hired to seek new customers and pre-sell, as is the case with Mello Commodity, for example.

Mello Commodity is a marketing and sales agency for agricultural commodities, specializing in the supply of Brazilian sugar.

Mello Commodity makes the commercial connection and develops business between suppliers of the most varied types and the customer.

This type of company is contracted by cooperatives, trading or exporting groups. By conducting marketing and sales campaigns, they attract new customers, make quotations, assess the feasibility of negotiation, negotiate and conduct the sale of sugar, accompanying the buyer until the product is delivered.
