The Cooperative engages in the activities necessary to be successful in the complex, science-intensive arena that is sugar farming. The Cooperative provides the services of harvesting, transporting and milling of sugarcane and the marketing of raw sugar and blackstrap molasses. The management of these activities is divided into three major components:

Administration - handles executive management, marketing, environment and public affairs, accounting, data processing, payroll and human resources.

Agricultural Operations - encompasses the harvesting and hauling of members' sugarcane; provides agriculture and water monitoring technical services; and manages the farmland directly owned by the Cooperative.

Plant Operations - handles the processing of the sugarcane into raw sugar andmolasses, and is responsible for generating steam and electrical power for the entire operation.

Collectively, our members have available to them the resources, technical and regulatory support, marketing and legal services usually affordable by only the largest farming operations. The Cooperative has made it possible for family farmers to stay at the leading edge of technology, make use of the latest advancements In science to protect and preserve the environment, and provide economic stability and viability to an increasingly complex business.

Over 70,000 acres of sugarcane are farmed by the member-growers of Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida From this acreage, on an annual basis over 350,000 tons of raw sugar are produced. Once refined, this is enough to serve the average annual demand of more than 9 million Americans. In November 2002, the Cooperative became totally vertically integrated with the joint acquisition of the Domino Sugar refining holdings in New York, Maryland and Louisiana. A lot of hard work is necessary to reach point of providing sugar for your table, or sugar for countless baked, confectionery, cereal, dairy and processed goods.  It is this vital and complex work that is the purpose of Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida.
