1. DES CRI PTION OF THE INDUSTRY
The South African sugar industry makes an important contribution to the national economy,
given its agricultural and industrial investments, foreign exchange earnings, its high
employment and linkages with major suppliers, support industries and customers. It is
a diverse industry combining the agricultural activities of sugar-cane cultivation with the
industrial factory production of raw and refined sugar, syrups and specialised sugars, and
a range of by-products. Based on revenue generated through sugar sales, in the SACU
region and world market exports, the South African sugar industry is responsible for generating
an annual average direct income of R6 billion. The South African sugar industry
contributes an estimated average R2 billion to the country’s foreign exchange earnings
on an annual basis. The industry is regulated in terms of the Sugar Act and the Sugar
Industry Agreement, which are binding on all sugar-cane growers and producers of
sugar products. The contribution of the sugar industry to the Gross Value of Agricultural
