Manufacture of sugar

NACE v2.0 Code: C10.81

About manufacture of sugar

NACE code 10.81 covers the manufacture of sugar, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the global food and beverage supply chain. Sugar production is a significant economic activity, with the industry contributing to employment, trade, and the overall growth of many national and regional economies. As a versatile and widely-used ingredient, sugar finds applications in a diverse range of products, making it an essential component of the broader food and agricultural sector.

Production process

The manufacture of sugar primarily involves the extraction and refinement of sucrose from sugarcane or sugar beets. The key production steps include harvesting, transportation, and milling of the raw materials, followed by a series of processes such as clarification, evaporation, and crystallization to separate and purify the sugar. Advanced techniques, including centrifugation and various filtration methods, are employed to ensure the quality and purity of the final sugar product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the sugar manufacturing industry include sugarcane or sugar beets as the primary raw materials, as well as water, energy sources (such as fuel and electricity), and specialized equipment and machinery for the various stages of production. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of chemicals, such as lime and sulfur dioxide, to facilitate the clarification and purification processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the sugar manufacturing industry is refined sugar, which is then used as an ingredient in a wide variety of food and beverage products. These include 10.82 Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery, 11.01 Distilling, rectifying and blending of spirits, and 11.07 Manufacture of soft drinks; production of mineral waters and other bottled waters. The industry also generates by-products, such as molasses and bagasse, which can be further processed or used for other purposes.
