Wilmar International
Brazilian energy company Raizen Energia and Wilmar International have formed a 50-50 joint venture, Raizen and Wilmar Sugar (RAW).
This is to meet the growing global demand for Brazilian very high polarization (VHP) sugar, the companies said. The joint venture will combine the strengths of Brazil's largest producer of VHP sugar with the world's leading trader of the commodity, they added.
Raizen's output of around three million tonnes of VHP sugar will be exported by RAW. This, together with Wilmar's existing sugar supplies in Brazil, will make RAW one of the largest exporters of Brazilian sugar to the world with a total volume of about 4.5 million tonnes annually.
RAW will be headquartered in Singapore and will conduct its sugar origination in Brazil through a wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
