Indonesia is one of the largest sugarcane consumer in the world, consuming around 3,5 million tons of sugarcane per year, while the capacity of the domestic sugarcane industries/producers nationally only producing 2.31 million tons (in 2007) and most of them has been produced by the state companies. There for, around 1,5 million tons sugarcane should be imported from another country to fulfill the demand of the local market in Indonesia. The sugarcane mills owned by the state/government commonly produced white crystallized sugar using chemical stuffs, such as sulfur, calcium, and carbon dioxide in the process. Whereas the crystallized white sugar is not really effective for food an beverage industries, they commonly use liquid sugar or syrup for their industries. In fact , in Indonesia the food and beverage industries usually buy crystallized white sugar, then they boil it until become liquid or syrup for their industries. According The Association of Food and Beverage Companies in Indonesia there are more than 914,000,-members are small industries, and about 5,000 are bigger companies. Some of the bigger companies have license to import sugar for their own needs but not for trading. While the small industries absorbed the local crystallized white sugar as much as 900,000 tons yearly.
In line with the food security movement and demanding of healthcare of the people, as well as for fulfilling the demand of the food and beverage industries, producing liquid sugar which is chemical free is the right choice of the business. To produce clear, hygienic, and healthy liquid sugar and cane juice it is now possible by using membrane technology (Ultra Filtration). The sugarcane mill which will be built is in a small capacity, that is 100 TCD (ton cane par day, approximately equal to 50 tons liquid sugar/day) and cane juice for 10,000 liters/day. The reason why we choose a small capacity of cane sugar mill is basically for efficiency of the land and operational of the mill itself. It is enough with 250 hectares cane farm for supply the mill and we can cooperate with cane farmers. So the coverage area is not so big, but we can build cane sugar mill in several areas. The policy is to get closer to the material resources and on the other hand is to get closer to the market as well. The cane sugar mill will operate everyday, the whole year around (approximately 250 days a year), and this is the different between the conventional cane sugar mill (which produces crystallized white sugar) in Indonesia and the liquid cane sugar mill which will be built, soon. The conventional one can not produce crystallized sugar if the content of the sucrose in the cane less than 12 %. That’s why they should wait the cane until mature and it is about (and minimum) 12 month of age. While liquid cane sugar mill doesn’t need that kind of condition, even the cane can be harvested early (about 9 – 10 month of age). So, commonly in Indonesia the conventional cane sugar mill operate about 6 months only. Another added value of the liquid sugar mill are: the conversion yield is high because the waste is very little, chemical free, and the fresh cane juice contains of sakaran and octacosanol (a new research) . Sakaran is anti diabetic compound and octacosanol is long chain alcohol compound which can be acting as an agent for reducing cholesterol in the body of human being . Those kinds of compound are disappear when it is processed in the conventional way. Thus, we will promote and sell cane juice for healthy drink instead.
The liquid sugar and cane juice mill will be a profitable business in Indonesia because of the very high demand as it has already illustrated above, and there is no liquid sugarcane mill in Indonesia yet, more over the membrane technology is very newest technology in sugar cane industry in Indonesia, and we will be the first group/company in using that technology. To materialize the project, it needs approximately USD 3 million for both investment and operational cost (working capital) per project.
The liquid sugar cane mill & cane juice business will be built in unique, small, beautiful, but with modern management system, and it will be built in 20 places (in Java, Bali, Kalimantan, Sumatra & Sulawesi) in Franchise Business Model. Any party are interested with this project ? We have a complete its business plan. Please contact : tgh_55@yahoo.com.
