ICUMSA 45 refined white sugar meeting international quality standards for export.
Intentions Institute Inc. supplies refined white cane sugar graded to the ICUMSA 45 standard, the highest quality classification for white sugar in international trade. Our sugar is sourced from Brazil, India, and Thailand, the three largest sugar-producing nations in the world, ensuring year-round availability and competitive pricing for buyers across all major import markets.
ICUMSA 45 sugar is characterized by its sparkling white colour, high polarization, and extremely low moisture and ash content, making it the preferred grade for direct consumer use, confectionery manufacturing, and beverage production.
Request a QuoteSugar is one of the most widely traded soft commodities in the world, with annual global production exceeding 180 million metric tons. Brazil alone accounts for roughly 20 percent of global output and is by far the largest exporter, shipping sugar from the ports of Santos and Paranagua to destinations across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. India and Thailand serve as critical supplementary origins, providing additional supply capacity and geographic diversification for buyers seeking to reduce concentration risk in their sourcing strategies.
The ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) scale is the universally accepted measure of sugar purity and colour. ICUMSA 45, with a maximum colour rating of 45 RBU (Reference Basis Units), represents the finest grade of refined white sugar available in international trade. This grade meets the requirements of the most demanding end users, from multinational beverage companies to pharmaceutical manufacturers, and commands a premium over lower-grade sugars due to the additional refining steps required to achieve its exceptional whiteness and purity levels.
