Organic Cane Sugar: A Greener Footprint (1) The benefits of organic sugar cane cultivation and production are clearly moreenvironmental, than the production of a ‘healthier’ final sugar product. Sugar cane is one of nature’s best photosynthesizers, converting nearly 2% ofsunlight into energy. In both conventional and organic mills, the crushed cane bagasse, is burned in thefurnaces to generate energy for the mills. The power generated is usually morethan the needs of the mill alone, so the co-generated green energy is used topower local homes, businesses, and schools. A study in Paraguay by the Sustainable Food Lab in 2011 commissioned throughUnilever’s Cool Farm Tool demonstrated that organic farming methods resulted inlower total carbon emissions than conventional sugar cane farming, 25% less CO2per MT of sugar & over 40% less/ hectare
Organic Cane Sugar: A Greener Footprint (2) The conventional cane growing system has a much higher rate offertilizer production emissions due to synthetic fertilizer use and theorganic compost fertilizer will offer a higher sequestration benefitthat is captured by the carbon stock change. Given the use of organic composting techniques in organic canecultivation, there are no emissions related to the use of herbicidesand pesticides as they are not used the organic system. Although it is typical for many conventional farms to practicereduced tillage, unlike organic, conventional farms do not generallyuse cover crops, apply manure as fertilizer, or incorporate residueswhich all contribute to sequestration benefits. Crop management emissions are also much more prominent in theconventional system, due to the cane burning to ease harvesting.
GLOBAL ORGANIC SUGAR SOURCES & IMPORTSUSDA Agricultural Outlook Forum,Feb 22, 2019
Need for Imports to satisfyorganic sugar demand There are no significant U.S. sources of organic sugar capable of supportingdomestic demand and we would estimate that at close to 200,000MT ofconsumption in 2019 (so way less than 1% of total US caloric sweetenerconsumption) so that is unlikely to change in the near-term ‒High wages and cost of land with three year transition period fromconventional to organic ‒generally unsuitable climate for sugar cane even in current growing areasimpacting yields ‒Beet sugar not a viable alternative given the prevalence of geneticmodification -Therefore most organic sugar marketed and in the U.S. (both retail andingredient) is imported
Major Global Sourcesof Organic SugarPrimarily South and CentralAmerica for the US Marketwith a small amount ofdomestic production andsome small imports fromMexico & IndiaLargest Producers are inBrazil, Paraguay, Colombiaand Argentina
DEMAND GROWTH & NEED FOR EXPANDED FUTURE US MARKET ACCESSUSDA Agricultural Outlook Forum,Feb 22, 2019
US Market Access for Organic Sugar Organic sugar doesn’t directly compete with conventional sugarproduced under the Sugar Program as it is market demanddomestic production is unable to meet. Qualified organic sugar can be entered under the Specialty SugarQuota as part of the overall sugar TRQ. This works effectivelybut does create a complicated and expensive supply chain forparticipants Before making annual quota size decisions the USDA FAS workswith industry participants to gather information on market sizeand demand from producers, importers & customers. Thisincludes the Organic Trade Association (OTA) Sugar Taskforcethat supports the effort with credible market data. The availability of competitively priced organic sugar benefitsand supports US Organic Farmers cultivating other organic cropsdomestically. It makes available a key ingredient needed inorganic processed food production thereby creating demand forthose crops. Given the US Organic Food Market is growing 6X theconventional food market, these organic processed products aresold in the US and exported overseas to meet the demand ofthis rapidly growing market.
Annual Specialty Sugar 40,000160,000180,000200,000Metric Tons*Reflects an exceptional additional quota awarded in July 2016 related to a market shortage of duty-free organic sugar at that timeSpecialty Quota for Organic Sugar needs to continue to expand in line with demand growth atan estimated 5-10% per annum to prevent market shortages occurring.

Indian Sugar Industry – A Brief Overview Sugar Production Process Globally, sugar is mainly extracted from either sugarcane or sugar beet. Around 80% of global sugar is extracted from sugarcane, and remaining 20% from sugar beet. In India, sugar is extracted from sugarcane.
Indian Sugar Industry - An Overview World's 2nd largest sugar producer at 25-28 million tonnes p.a. World's largest consumer of sugar at 25-26 million tonnes p.a. Annual output Rs. 80,000 crore About 50 million Sugarcane farmers Around 5 lakh workers directly employed in sugar mills Around 530 sugar mills under operation Per capita
Sugar and Sweeteners Outlook Andrew Sowell, coordinator Ron Lord, contributor U.S. Sugar Supplies Raised on Larger Production and Imports Sugar production is raised in 2020/21, mainly driven by upward revisions to cane sugar production in Florida and Louisiana. Beet sugar production is also revised up with a higher expected extraction rate.
