THE TONGAAT-HULETT

Through its sugar and starch operations in Southern Africa, Tongaat Hulett produces a range of refined carbohydrate products from sugar cane and maize. It has considerable expertise in downstream agricultural products, biofuel production and electricity cogeneration. Competition for water and alternative land usage is an ongoing dynamic. Demand for food products is increasing worldwide, renewable energy has introduced a new dimension to agriculture and agricultural trade regimes are changing. Tongaat Hulett balances the operational requirement for cane supplies to its sugar cane processing operations with the transition of agricultural land to other uses at the appropriate times. It is well positioned to benefit from this changing world of agriculture and agri-processing.
