This is sometimes also known as panela. Generally cane sugar is produced by tropical countries and the beet sugar by the cold/European areas.

 WHAT IS ICUMSA ?

 International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis

 MEANING AND WORKING

 ICUMSA  is a world-wide body which brings together the activities of the National Committees for Sugar Analysis in more than thirty member countries. Work is carried out under various Subject headings, each headed by a Referee.

Methods are recommended for tentative approval by ICUMSA in the first instance. Upon meeting all of the Commission's requirements, methods are accorded official status. Methods which are demonstrably useful and have found an established application, or which do not lend themselves to collaborative testing are given an Accepted status"

 An ICUMSA rating is an international unit for expressing the purity of the sugar in solution, and is directly related to the colour of the sugar. Be aware that there are different types of ICUMSA units. For Brazilian sugar, the lower the ICUMSA figure the whiter the sugar. However, this is not the case in the E.U. for some unknown reason, which has been the subject of much discussion.

SGS of Sao Paulo has published specifications for ICUMSA numbers for E.U. product which run contrary to the Brazilian specifications; for example, in Brazil SGS has an ICUMSA rating of 45 rbu for refined, indicating the highest quality, with other grades of lower quality (such as Special Extra Crystal) having a higher ICUMSA of 150 and so forth. This rating method is confirmed by the Institute of Sugar and Alcohol in Brazil.

 The TU is heavily dependent upon "ash points", which are defined as "Conductivity ash, % , expressed to three decimal places" (British Sugar Corp., Central Laboratory, ICUMSA Headquarters). Further used to weight the TU is "reflectance Grade Colour" and "Solution Colour" or "Filtered Colour" as it is referred to, which have formulas for determination equally confusing as the one for "Ash Points". Thus, as you see, this is not easily understood by the novice.

Brazilian sugar cane price will drop for the first time in ten yearsJanuary 2012

The south-central Brazil aims to produce 490 million tons of sugarcane in the 2011/2012 cycle, which would represent the first drop in sugar production in the country in a decade, said Monday Plinio Nastari, president of the Datagroconsultancy.

He held the annual seminar of the International Sugar Organization (OIA), which provided a drop in total sugar production in Brazil to 35.4 million tonnes in 2011/2012cycle against 38.0 million in the 2010 cycle / 2011.

Then Nastari told Reuters the harvest of sugarcane in south-central Brazil finalized a few weeks earlier this year, possibly from 10 to 12 December. "There is little cane in the fields," he said.

Nastari said the weak production of sugar in the 2011/2012 cycle was due to a combination of adverse weather and aging of the cane.

He said the average age of the Brazilian sugarcane was 3.8 years now, compared to a desirable level of 2.7 years, reflecting decreasing degrees cane renewal, a consequence of the effect of global financial crisis 2008 in the industry.

Nastari said the current replacement level in the cane fields of Brazil hovered at 9percent to 14 percent, compared with 15 to 17 percent in normal conditions.

"There has been a dramatic reduction in the level of renewal of the reeds," he said.



The 2011 Brazilian Sugar Offer

The Exports from November to March 2012 would be about 2 million ton less than those seen last year, down nearly 30 percent, according to industry expectations in the world's largest exporter of sugar.

"It is very likely that the pace of exports will slow substatially from now," said Julio Maria Borges, director of JOB Economic consultants, who estimated that Brazilian Sugar Export will fall 10 percent this season
compared to
 the previous one.

Government data show that shipments of raw sugar and white sugar from the start of the season, April through October totaled 16.2 million 
tons, down from 17.6 million ton in the same period 2010, down nearly 8 percent.

But the mills estimate that exports will fall this year more than that, which would mean that the decline in sales will be more drastic in the coming months.Sugar exports  from the main producing area of Brazil would be low in the coming months during the period between harvest, because the sugar will keep their stock for potential domestic market sales, 
sources said on Tuesday Industry.
News from Ecuador
December 10, 2011
National researchers have developed two new varieties of sugar cane will be used to meet the demand of market competitiveness and sustainability of production in the lower basin of the Guayas River.

The two genetic tools delivered this week by the Center for Research on Sugar Cane Ecuador (Cincae) are products of a continuous 12 years of work, selecting and making crosses for field assessments that are material to ensure good characteristics cane, sugar yield and resistance or tolerance to major diseases old and new (leaf rust) and pests in the beds of the mills Escudos, San Carlos and Valdez.

With the ECU 03 and ECU varieties 04, the Cincae in its thirteen years of full life four materials provided, which until last November and covering an area of ​​10,000hectares, showing superiority in production on a commercial sweetener in relation to the varieties commonly used as Ragnar, B76-78 and CC85-92.

The new materials entering commercial production, according to researchers, meet the objective of offering the mills and cane growers planting alternatives, enabling them to increase productivity.

Part of the improved varieties of cane were made ​​in the station Camanú, Brazil, within the cooperation agreement between the National Institute of Technology and the Center Canavieira (CTC, in Portuguese) in that country.

At the moment the interest of the Center's research revolves around the production of sugar but be warned that simultaneously have begun work to advance the acquisition of special materials to produce ethanol and electricity generation.
