Refined White Sugar ICUMSA 45

Refined white cane sugar at ICUMSA 45 for beverage, confectionery, bakery and retail repacking at container scale.

Refined white sugar ICUMSA 45 in 50 kg bags palletised for container export
Product Overview

ICUMSA 45 is the international benchmark for refined white sugar: the number refers to colour in solution, and 45 is the grade beverage and confectionery manufacturers specify because it will not tint the finished product.

Sugar is a heavily traded commodity with volatile pricing, so offers carry short validity — often three days — and are tied to a named polarisation, colour and moisture specification.

Bagged sugar is hygroscopic and cakes if it takes up moisture in transit. Containers are lined and the bags are palletised; for humid destinations we recommend confirming the discharge and storage arrangements before the vessel arrives.
