Geneva Sugar Conference

    From flavor enhancer to economic driver

    The multifaceted role of sugar

    Sugar plays an important role globally, acting as a fundamental ingredient in food products and beverages. However, its significance in the food industry extends beyond just its sweet taste, as it also contributes to texture, appearance and color. It also acts as a flavor enhancer and can prevent spoilage of food due to its antibacterial properties.

    In addition to its food related importance, the global sugar trade holds considerable economic significance. The cultivation and export of sugar contribute significantly to the economies of many countries.

    “Being a speaker in 2011 and last year, I’m looking forward attending the Geneva Sugar Conference again. I am very keen to learn more about the major developments and challenges in the EU sugar market: consequences of e.g. the Green Deal, nicotinoid pesticide ban, and new international trade agreements could create opportunities for our testing, inspection, and certification business. But most important, it is the ideal moment to catch up with our clients and colleagues!”

    ”This is my first year in the Conference. I have been invited to share my views and experience with certifications in this amazing sector. We will explore the world of certifications in the sugar & ethanol industry in Brazil, essential for meeting market demands and sustainability goals. Learn about Bonsucro, Renovabio, ISCC CORSIA, and more, and how they shape industry practices, compliance, and environmental responsibility. Stay ahead in the competitive market with insights into these certification trends, ensuring long-term viability and success.”
