Zucarmex will build a sugar import terminal at the port of San Diego.

Mexican sugar producer Zucarmex announced on Tuesday (30) the signing of an agreement with the Port of San Diego administration in California to build and operate a terminal for the import and storage of raw sugar in the United States. The project foresees the construction of a warehouse of approximately 4,650 m² at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (TAMT), with the capacity to handle up to 280,000 tons of raw sugar per year. According to the company, the new structure will strengthen its presence in the North American market and expand its logistical capacity to meet the region's demand. Zucarmex currently operates six sugar mills in Mexico and also owns a sugar refinery in San Diego.
