The sugar industry continues to experience an increased appetite for investment in sugar refining and processing with several new projects emerging in Africa, Middle-East, South East Asia and India. These investments, particularly in refining capacity have changed market structures and are impacting trade flows. Another 10.6 mln tonnes of raw sugar refining capacity is expected to come online worldwide over the next few years. In addition, investments are also being made to upgrade efficiency or to improve revenue streams through diversification into cogeneration and ethanol plants. This has created ample opportunities for companies looking to enter new markets and grow their businesses. IBC’s World Sugar Investment Summit is aimed at identifying global business and investment opportunities across the globe.
