Sustainability and traceability have become key consumer concerns. Among these new trends, products derived from organic farming are enjoying strong growth in popularity. Tereos has been a pioneer in the distribution of organic cane sugar in Europe for almost 20 years. Since 2019, Tereos has gone one step further by developing organic channels and offering organic products from its own production.
