CHARACTERISTICS OF SUGAR ICUMSA 45
The exports of Brazilian sugar are mainly destined to direct human consumption and in the production of industrialized foods such as biscuits, chocolate, juices and even in the pharmaceutical industry to sweeten syrups. Exports of Icumsa 45 sugar are generally made by companies that act as intermediaries between manufacturers and companies that market the product during the import or export process.

The mills do not market the product directly for export, large traders of this commodity acquire in advance future production and thus negotiate in order to have material available for export, especially the quality sugar icumsa 45.

The sugar icumsa 45 is generally exported in large quantities, being the minimum quantity of 12,500 tons, in ship's hold, that is, no container is used due to the high cost. The contracts used in these negotiations can be spot (a single shipment) or contract for 12 months (12 shipments) and the largest flow of product is shipped by the Port of Santos - SP and its packaging is bags with 50kg or Big Bags of 1mt (bags with one ton), unlike the sugar Icumsa 45, the quality VHP (brown) can be shipped without sacaria, that is, dumped directly in the appropriate place of the ship.

It is important to note that crystal sugar is classified by the international commission for uniform methods of sugar analysis, which admits several gradations, known by the acronym ICUMSA. Thus, lower ICUMSA indices indicate lighter color sugars, while the higher values refer to sugars of relatively darkened color, and icumsa 45 sugar is one of the lighter sugars.
