Organic Cane Sugar

Organic cane sugar and other sugar varieties from organic cultivation

Cane sugar labelled “kbA” (“kontrollierter biologischer Anbau”, meaning “certified organic cultivation”) in Germany follows the standards of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, which served as a starting point for the EU Eco Directive. Organic cane sugar and other sugar varieties and foods with this label meet clearly defined criteria whose compliance is regularly monitored by independent certification bodies. These require producers to refrain from the use of genetically engineered organisms and chemical plant protection agents, for example. Only natural methods such as predators are permitted for pest control. Cultivation using a natural crop rotation protects the soil.
