Descripción
This paper identifies a new way of sugar utilization for food industry supplying: the
production of specific ingredients. It analyzes the occurrence of association among sugar mills and
sugar products manufacturers in the context of productive deregulation and market globalization in
the second half of the 90´s. The manufacturers of specific ingredients (sugar products) established
associations and joint-ventures with sugar mills in order to guarantee sugar supplying. An important
consequence of this process was the internationalization of the section of sugarcane second (and
first) agricultural processing by means of those strategic alliances. These companies have the
knowledge of productive processes of specific ingredients (based on biotechnology) which, when
compared with conventional processes, presents great variation in productivity and production
costs. There is a combination of the sugar mills capabilities for agricultural production and the
technological qualification of transnational entities for the production of sugar derivatives.
