CEPEA - Centro de Estudos Avançados em Economia Aplicada: "Sugar
Prices remain stables in the beginning of the season
In the first fortnight of April, Brazilian sugar market moved at a slow pace. The supply was low, helping prices to stabilize. For a while, there is no sugar of the new crop available in the spot market. Domestic and international buyers are waiting supply from Brazilian 2009/10 crop, expecting smaller values. The harvest in Brazil started officially in April 1st.
Between March 31st and April 15th, the CEPEA/ESALQ Index (Sao Paulo state) for crystal sugar upped slightly 0.4 percent, closing at 46.97 reals or 21.58 dollars per bag of 50 kilos on April 15th. However, according to ISO (International Sugar Organization), the international sugar deficit should reach 4.3 million of tons in 2008/09 season. The main reason is the lower production in China and India.
Regarding the price parity calculated by Cepea, the sugar remunerated 116 percent more than the anhydrous ethanol between April 6th and 9th. In relation to the hydrated, the sugar advantage was 134 percent more. In the same period, domestic trades (Sao Paulo state) remunerated 16 percent more than exports. (Cepea – Brazil)

White Refined Sugar ICUMSA
"ICUMSA - WHAT DOES IT MEAN
'What is the meaning of ICUMSA and to what does it relate?' In order to attempt to help, let us quote the following from the ICUMSA Handbook:
'ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) 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 color 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"
