Where This Grade Is Used

International Tenders & Contracts

RBU is the reference basis many government and institutional tenders specify, since it defines purity in precise, independently verifiable terms rather than a general description.

Large-Scale Food Manufacturing

Industrial buyers running high-volume production lines rely on RBU-defined specification to keep formulation consistent across large, recurring orders.

Syrup & Concentrate Production

Manufacturers producing syrups and concentrates for resale often require a contractually defined purity standard to pass on to their own downstream customers.

Multi-Origin Sourcing Programs

Buyers who source the same grade from multiple countries use the RBU standard to keep specifications comparable across suppliers and shipments.

Packaging & Ordering

Available in 25kg or 50kg food-grade PP bags with inner lining, or 1-tonne jumbo bags for containerized bulk orders. Minimum order is one 20FT or 40FT container.

Every shipment can be supported with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and, on request, an SGS or equivalent third-party inspection report.

What does "RBU Standard" actually mean?

RBU (Reference Basis Unit) is a defined method of specifying and verifying sugar purity, commonly required in formal tenders and industrial supply contracts where buyers need a precise, auditable standard rather than a general product description.

How is this different from our standard ICUMSA 45 Sugar?

Both share the same ICUMSA 45 whiteness and purity range. The RBU version is produced and documented against the RBU reference specification specifically, for buyers whose contracts or tenders require that documentation format.

Can this be supplied against a formal tender specification?

Yes — send us the tender's technical specification and we'll confirm whether we can match it exactly, along with the documentation required to support your bid.
