Cevital observes 1mn tonnes sugar exports in 2012: Algeria

ALGIERS: Algerian firm Cevital, the biggest sugar refiner in North Africa, expects to more than double sugar exports this year to 1 million tonnes after fixing technical problems at its main transport hub, the owner and chief executive said.

Issad Rebrab told Reuters that the privately held firm was also planning to increase its sugar refining capacity to 2.6 million tonnes a year, from 2 million tonnes, by the end of this year, and that it planned to open a refinery in Iraq.
