Given the need for further development of the sugar industry, company management and government officials should carefully analyze the availability and efficiency of the use of financial resources, as well as the sources of their formation. financing of sugar refinery projects would globally give an estimate of sugar production at 220 million tons in 2024.
The ability of companies to attract financial resources from various sources for the construction or expansion of sugar refinery projects opens up significant development opportunities.
Project finance (PF) schemes, implemented through specially created independent companies, over the past decades has become one of the most effective ways to finance large industrial and agricultural projects with limited recourse.
The choice of the most suitable sources of financing for the investment needs of sugar refineries is carried out taking into account the specifics of the project. The volume and structure of funding sources are influenced by the type of enterprise, ownership, structure, business goals for a certain period of time, the internal financial policy of the company, external factors, etc.
A special role in the financing of the sugar industry is played by loans provided by state, commercial banks and even international financial institutions (IFIs). Their share in the industry’s financing structure remains quite high, but banks impose strict requirements on potential borrowers. Moreover, growing economic and geopolitical unpredictability reduces the appetite of banks for long-term projects, forcing them to limit financing to short-term lending.
Another important source of funding for sugar refinery projects is government financial support, which can be allocated to modernize or build new facilities. These funds can be provided by the central government or local governments in the form of directed lending, as well as grants, grants and subsidies to sugar producers to support the sector.
Foreign investment as a source of financing can contribute to the development of the sugar industry in countries with high investment attractiveness. Attraction of foreign capital prevents possible monopolization of the market, and creates favorable conditions for the introduction of innovative solutions.
Financing of sugar refinery projects and ensuring their continuous operation directly affects related industries that are inextricably linked with sugar refineries.

Project finance in the construction of sugar refineries
Project finance allows companies to raise significant financial resources without collateral, using the project’s future cash flows to repay debt. This is a highly complex model based on a multilateral contractual structure and multiple guarantee and security instruments.
However, the advantages of this financing model have recently extended to other sectors, including the sugar industry and the agricultural sector in general.
Project finance (PF) schemes are widely used in world practice to finance projects in capital-intensive industries such as heavy industry, mining and processing of minerals, oil and gas sector, etc.
Some features of financing sugar refinery projects and its constructions:
• Professional feasibility study of the project and its preliminary approval with banks that are ready to provide financial resources for the project or act as a guarantor.
• A clear definition of project risks and their rational distribution among project participants for the most efficient project implementation.
• High capitalization of the project, which allows to completely solve the problems of construction, launch, operation, production and marketing of products.
• Participation in the construction of reputable partners prepared for long-term cooperation.
Like most other financial terms, the term “project finance” is interpreted differently in world practice.
For example, in Europe it is used to describe a whole range of tools and methods for attracting the necessary financial resources. In the United States, the term “project finance” refers to a special type of financing in which the income received from the implementation of the project is the main or only source of debt repayment.
Modern financing schemes make it possible to shift up to 80-90% of investment costs onto the shoulders of creditors and investors, limiting themselves to the minimum participation of initiators.
Despite numerous risks and limitations, borrowed funds are widely used for project finance. In typical sugar mill projects, these funds account for at least 50% of the total investment cost.
