Welcome

Welcome to the South African Sugar Association (SASA) website. SASA is an organisation that exists to promote the global competitiveness, profitability and sustainability of the South African sugar industry. We do this by providing specialist support to the cane growers and sugar millers who make up the sugar industry, and to their representative bodies, the SA Canegrowers' Association and the SA Sugar Millers' Association.

This partnership is administered by the SASA Council. The Chairmanship and Vice-Chairmanship of Council usually alternates every two years between a grower and a miller.

SASA specialist support services extend along the entire industry value chain, starting with agricultural research and extension and including cane testing, agricultural and engineering training, and the export marketing of raw sugar to name a few of our activities. 

We invite you to learn more about our diverse organisation and the important industry that we serve by navigating through the various sections of this website.
