Danisco Sugar invests in Lithuania, Poland
Article Abstract:
The Lithuanian sugar industry produces 89 000 tonnes of sugar from its four factories, with consumption at 32kg per capita. The Danish company Danisco Sugar has purchased stakes in all four Lithuanian sugar factories from Vilniaus Prekyba. Danisco's sugar sales were worth 6.5 billion Dutch kroner, a 1% increase for the year to April 1998. Danisco also has plans to buy a 49% share in the Polish sugar company, Rolimpex Cukier. Danisco sees both investments as part of its expansion into Eastern Europe, where it already sells sugar to the Baltic States and Russia.

Falling German sugar sales to private households
Article Abstract:
German consumers are purchasing more ready-made processed foods, moving away from preparing food at home. This has led to a fall in sugar sales to private households. In the 1992 93 marketing year, sales of sugar for all nutritional uses were 2,695 million t, with 22% going to non-industrial users. Annual per-head consumption of sugar through bakery goods, jams, confectionery and dairy products was around 25 kg, with consumption through household purchases at 7 kg.

Sugar group Ebro angry at the decision of competition authority
Article Abstract:
Spanish sugar producer Azucarera Ebro Agricolas is angry at the national competition authority's ruling that it must restructure because of its dominant 78% share of Spain's sugar market. The authority says that Ebro must reduce its market share to 60% and suggests that the group does not buy sugar, directly or indirectly, within the European Union so that other operators can enter Spain.
