Brazilian Sugar Supply Program
Seasonal allocations from qualified Brazilian mills.
Brazil supplies the majority of the world's traded raw sugar, yet buyers routinely fail to secure it reliably — because they buy cargo by cargo from parties they cannot verify. Our programme replaces that with contracted, audited, repeatable supply.
The programme
Built for recurring industrial demand.
The Brazilian Sugar Supply Program is designed for refiners, manufacturers and importers with continuous consumption: a defined grade, a defined monthly tonnage, and a defined shipping calendar covering the Centre-South crop cycle from April to December, supplemented by North-East origin out of season.
Participation is contractual and selective. Mills are qualified on production capacity, certification status and export track record; buyers are qualified on compliance screening and bankability of their payment instrument.
The result is a supply relationship rather than a series of transactions — with the price basis, quality tolerance and remedies agreed once, in advance, and applied consistently across every shipment.
Programme pillars
Four fixed terms in every allocation.
Contracted allocation
Monthly tonnage reserved at mill level for the contract term, insulating buyers from spot-market scarcity during peak crush.
Fixed laycan discipline
Shipment windows are agreed at signature and monitored against terminal nomination, avoiding rolling laycans and demurrage exposure.
Standing inspection protocol
Independent quality and quantity certification is embedded in the master contract, not negotiated cargo by cargo.
Destination-ready documentation
Certificate of origin, phytosanitary, health and fumigation sets prepared for the specific import regime of the discharge country.
Execution sequence
Six stages from enquiry to repeat allocation.
Qualification
Buyer profile, destination, tonnage and payment instrument reviewed by the compliance desk.
Allocation
Mill capacity reserved against the programme term and grade; indicative pricing basis agreed.
Master contract
Specifications, inspection, laycan schedule, tolerance and default remedies executed in writing.
Instrument
Documentary credit issued and confirmed; no funds move outside the banking channel.
Shipment
Loading supervised, inspection certificates issued, documents presented within the credit terms.
Review
Post-shipment performance reviewed and the next allocation window is confirmed.
Logistics & origin
Santos, Paranaguá, Maceió and Recife.
Cargoes are nominated through the terminal best matched to the mill of origin and the destination route, balancing freight economics against loading reliability during peak season congestion.
