Our production
Ingenio San Isidro has made significant investments in the sugar factory and alcohol distillery, incorporating latest technology equipment which has made possible the increase of our daily production capacity, improving the final quality of our products.
Organic production has prompted us to conduct continuous study and research in improving cultivation tasks and organic fertilizer production, which in turn help us obtain higher productivity in the planted areas.
White sugar and raw sugar: White sugar is produced by the mill from conventional sugar cane, it has a purity of 99,8%, and is intended for domestic market. Raw sugar, with a purity of 96 to 98% sucrose, caters mainly to foreign markets for refining.
Molasses: This is a sugar manufacture byproduct that can be used as human and/or livestock food or as raw material for ethyl alcohol production.
Syrup: This product is obtained by sugar syrup inversion and is used as sweetener in food products.
Alcohol: The alcohol is obtained from the fermentation of the molasses or the juice extracted from sugar cane. The quality of the alcohol obtained reaches 96% and is used for the manufacture of beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc.
The anhydrous alcohol, with 99.9% alcohol content, is used preferably as fuel.
Organic sugar: It is obtained from organic farming that preserves soil fertility avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals. This allows for sustainable exploitation of resources and ensures the recovery and conservation of biodiversity.
Its properties are:
Mill and sugar
Organic sugar has emerged in recent years with the purpose of reversing the degradation of natural resources generated by the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals and excessive soil tillage. This has led to the rescue of ancient methods of cultivation which consider new alternatives prioritizing environmental care.
In order to regulate eco-agricultural production, standards have been set that norm production systems and requirements for importing organic products through national and international institutions whose certifications are the basis for product’s reliability.
Argentina has been a pioneer in this area, as it was the first country to develop such official standards through the National Health and Food Quality Service (SENASA), under the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The International Agricultural Organization (OIA) is the entity expressly authorized by SENASA to certify all of our organic products. This certification has approvals from various world entities (EUREPGAP - USDA - NOP - BIOSUISSE - JAS) that regulate standards related to organic production. Furthermore, the Ingenio San Isidro has Kosher Certification for all its products.
