\u201cWe are more than sugar\u201d <\/h1>\n \n
\n

In the Sugar Cane Agroindustry in Guatemala, we are not only dedicated to sugar production. Our commitment to sustainability and innovation allows us to diversify our products, making the most of every sugar cane resource.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sugar<\/h2>\n \n
\n

During <\/span>Zafra [<\/span>Harvest<\/span>]<\/span> 2024\/25, we achieved a production of 2,620,692 metric tons of sugar.<\/strong>\u00a040% of this production was destined for domestic consumption, while 60% was exported to different markets around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Alcohol<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n

Alcohol is produced from molasses, a residue of sugar manufacturing. We produce up to 65 million gallons<\/strong> of alcohol every year, <\/span>demonstrating<\/span> our commitment to reuse and efficiency.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Molasses <\/h2>\n \n
\n

Molasses is a by-product obtained during the sugar manufacturing process and used in different industries. After extracting the juice from the cane and crystallizing the sugar, there are honeys rich in minerals such as iron, <\/span>calcium<\/span> and potassium, which are known as molasses.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Renewable Energy<\/h1>\n \n
\n

By taking advantage of the bagasse of sugar cane, a by-product of the milling process, the mills generate renewable energy that contributes significantly to the country. During Harvest, the mills supply about 30% of the energy Guatemala uses. In addition, the mills are self-sustaining, generating the energy necessary for the operation of their factories.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each year, this practice prevents up to 4 million tons of CO\u2082 from reaching the atmosphere, as we replace the use of fossil fuels with a renewable resource.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n Learn more<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

Other cane products <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n

In addition to sugar, Guatemalan mills make the most of sugar cane to produce a variety of sustainable by-products. These include fertilizers, vinasse, biogas, cachaza, CO\u2082 and compost, which contribute to agriculture and waste reduction.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bioplastics, paper and packaging can also be developed from sugar cane, which demonstrates the potential of this crop to generate innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n
