About me

I am an international sugar trade analyst with more than thirty years of experience in sugar trading and broking gained at ED&F Man between 1987 and 2018 in a variety of roles.

My work has permitted me to travel widely and to learn first hand about the sugar industries in European, African, Caribbean, Asian and Pacific countries and to liaise with people at every level throughout the value chain, from ships’ crew, farmers, warehouse managers and clerical staff, to chief executives, high ranking officials and government ministers.

I was elected for eight years as President of the European Sugar Traders’ Association “ASSUC”, comprising sixty sugar trading companies in Europe.

Today, I participate in a number of committees representing sugar interests to governments and civil society and I research and write about the latest data and developments in the EU and UK sugar markets for my clients, for presentation in conferences and for publication in websites, newspapers and magazines.
