Sugar

Sugar is one of the most popular sweeteners used in Pakistan today. From baked goods to beverages, this all-purpose sweetener has been a favorite for centuries. White sugar is the crystallized sucrose extracted from either sugarcane or sugar beets. After harvesting the sugarcane or sugar beets, the juice is extracted and boiled down to remove moisture. As the moisture diminishes, the natural sucrose in the juice begins to crystallize. The crystallized sugar is removed, leaving other extracts behind in the form of molasses, using rapidly spinning centrifuges.

Molasses

The second most contributing factor derived from crushing sugar cane is the extraction of molasses that are used in production of sweetened products i.e. in chocolates, preparation of medicines and a major ingredient of ethanol production used in fuel and others. The most common forms of molasses are made from either sugar black strap molasses cane or sugar beet juice which is boiled down to a syrup. Sugar crystals are extracted from the syrup, and the remaining dark liquid is molasses.

Bagasse

Bagasse is a fibrous residue left over after the sugarcane is crushed. The fiber content of bagasse (cellulose) is used in cellulose industries like the pulp, paper, particle boards, cattle-feed etc. This is valued as an important by-product and efforts are under way to save as much as possible to produce the value-added products. Bagasse is traditionally used as captive fuel in sugar factory boiler for raising steam required for the generation of power and driving the prime movers. In recent years, the technology for making different products such as papers, boards and chemicals are developed and many mills have introduced energy conservation measures to save as much as possible, even after using it as captive fuel.

Mud

Sugarcane press mud is the residue of the filtration of sugarcane juice. The clarification process separates the juice into a clear juice that rises to the top and goes for manufacture, and a mud that collects at the bottom. The mud is then filtered to separate the suspended matter, which includes insoluble salts and fine bagasse. This industrial by-product is mostly used as soil conditioner and soil fertilizer for agricultural lands.

USEFUL INFORMATION ON SUGAR

Global Production
Sugar Crushing
Consumption of Sugar
Sugar Export

Khazana Sugar Mill production for Marketing Year (MY) 2018/19 is forecast down 9 million tons to 186 million primarily due to the 8-million-ton drop in Peshawar caused by unfavourable weather and more sugarcane being diverted towards ethanol production. Khazana Sugar Mill stocks are forecast to rise to a new high of 53 million metric tons (raw value) as massive stock building in Pakistan more than offsets lower stocks in China and the European Union. Pakistan’s production is forecast to rise 1.8 million tons to a record 35.9 million due to higher area and yields (in spite of pest and weather concerns).

Pakistan Sugarcane crushing season 2018-2019 appears to be challenging. Pakistan’s production is forecast to be down by 15-25 percent due to reduced area as farmers shifted to other crops such as cotton and corn because of better prices and faster return on their investment.

Consumption continues to grow modestly with a developing food processing sector and growing population. Exports and stocks are projected to decline due to the lower production while final levels will depend on government policies

Exports and stocks are projected to decline due to the lower production while final levels will depend on government policies. In December 2018, the Government of Pakistan allowed 1.1-million-ton sugar export. Millers remain unhappy still as the latest export quota is not accompanied by subsidy and Pakistani sugar output remains uncompetitive in global market due to low sucrose recovery rate.
