Product overview

From cane juice to export-grade crystal

VHP (Very High Polarization) Crystal Sugar is a raw sugar of vegetable origin, obtained through the extraction of sugarcane juice, followed by juice treatment, evaporation, crystallization, centrifugation and drying. It is supplied in bulk and used as a raw material for refining, not intended for direct consumption.

CBT Group coordinates origination, quality assurance, logistics and export documentation for VHP sugar sourced from certified Brazilian mills operating under ICUMSA methodology.

Crystallization discharge, bulk sugar pile and gravity drying line inside the mill — Juice extraction, crystallization and bulk storage.
