sugars...
We are an independent business that sources, manufactures, packs and distributes a wide range of sugar for the industrial, retail and food service sectors. Within our business is a wealth of experience and knowledge of how commodity markets function and what can be done to manage the inherent risks that they naturally produce. Part of our service to our customers includes the provision of independent and expert advice on any matters relating to the sugar buyer.
Whether the demand is for cane or beet sugar, white or brown, granulated or speciality: whether the country of origin is in the EU, Africa, Caribbean, Pacific or the French Departements D'Outre Mer (DOM), we are able to ensure a guaranteed supply.
Sugar in the EU is heavily regulated by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and particularly the Common Market Organisation (CMO) for Sugar and is denominated in Euro. For UK sugar buyers the need to convert Euro into Sterling therefore creates a currency risk that can play havoc with company budgets. Sugar buyers therefore have to keep a watchful eye on the currency, as well as the commodity markets.
We were instrumental in helping to develop specific financial instruments that have enabled sugar buyers to manage those currency risks. For more information see our industry news section. The knowledge and understanding of those risks and the various instruments available to hedge them is available to customers who wish to provide their businesses with some degree of stability.
