Fairtrade Sugar

 

British Sugar’s Fairtrade sugar is purchased under guaranteed Fairtrade standards.
 
British Sugar holds a 51% share in Illovo Sugar Limited, the largest cane sugar producer in Africa and one of the world's lowest cost producers. Our Fairtrade sugar is mainly sourced from Illovo Sugar in Malawi, one of the world's least developed countries.

The Fairtrade premium paid helps to fund development projects such as the provision of safe drinking water, housing, electricity programmes and the building of community health clinics.
