Raw and refined sugar
Asukal
Most cane goes to mills that make raw sugar, then refineries that make white sugar. Farmers supply the cane; the mill shares the sugar.
How it’s made
- Farmers deliver cut cane to the mill quickly after harvest.
- The mill crushes, clarifies and boils the juice into raw sugar.
- Refineries wash and purify raw sugar into white sugar.
Who buys it
Traders, food and drink makers, supermarkets and the government reserve.
Rules to know
Regulated by the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA), which sets sugar classes and mill rules. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.
Where it’s made in the Philippines
Mills in Negros, Panay, Batangas, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bukidnon and Davao.
How to start small
Small farmers usually take part through a planters’ association or block farm that deals with the mill.
