- Khonburi Sugar Public Company Limited engages in the manufacture and distribution of sugar in Thailand, rest of Asia, and Europe. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, the company operates through three segments: Sugar Cane, which produces and distributes sugar cane and provides agricultural machines and vehicles including sugar cane harvesters and tractors to planters; Sugar and Molasses Trading, which purchases and sells sugar, molasses, and by-products; and Utilities, which generates electricity and steam using bagasse as fuel. Its core products comprise refined sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, double sweet sugar, and raw sugar; the company also conducts knowledge seminars for planters and engages in agricultural and farming activities. In recent developments, the company expanded operations by milling sugarcane from the Sikhio Sugar Mill for the first time during the 2024/2025 harvesting year, processing 0.96 million tons while adapting to capacity constraints; it continues to leverage its strategic alliance with Japan's Mitsui Group established in 2012 and maintains its position as Thailand's eighth-largest sugar producer through integrated production and by-product utilization.
