Sugar Cane

Overview

Our sugar cane is sourced from premium growers across South Africa and is available in fresh or frozen form to suit your processing needs. Fresh stalks are ideal for juicing, ethanol production, and direct consumption, while frozen slices offer extended shelf life for bulk export and year‑round availability. Our sugar cane is characterised by high sucrose content (18‑22% Brix), low fibre, and excellent juicing properties. Each batch is inspected for Brix level, visual quality, and microbial safety before dispatch. Whether you are a commercial producer, a juice bar, or an exporter, we have the right product for you.

Sizes & Types

We offer sugar cane in a variety of sizes and forms to suit different applications:

Quality & Testing

All our sugar cane undergoes rigorous quality checks before dispatch:

• Brix Level – Measured using ISO 2173 refractometry.
• Purity – Tested for contaminants and foreign matter.
• Freshness – Visual inspection and microbial analysis.
• Microbial Analysis – ISO 4833 compliance for safety.
• Residue Testing – EU MRLs for pesticide residues – undetectable.
• Fibre Content – Measured to ensure juicing efficiency.

We provide detailed test reports and certificates with every shipment. For frozen products, we ensure cold chain integrity from packing to delivery.
