Mitr Phol told Reuters it"envisages a pivotal role in advancing Indonesia's self-sufficiency in sugar production" with its purchase of KTM, one of the country's largest privately-owned sugar mill and refinery.Indonesia, one of the world's largest sugar importers with a population of roughly 270 million people, is aiming to be self sufficient in sugar by 2027 and is eyeing development of renewable sugar-based ethanol afterwards.
The Southeast Asian country produced 2.4 million tonnes in 2022, and consumes 3.4 million tonnes annually. KTM, located in East Java, produces about 400,000 tonnes of refined sugar a year, according to commodities trader and supply chain services company Czarnikow, which advised on the deal.
