Business segments

Sugar milling

Central plains cane crushing

Core operations: sugarcane crushing, raw sugar and white sugar production at central plains mills. ~15% of Thai sugar output estimated. Grower relationships in Suphan Buri, Nakhon Sawan, and Kamphaeng Phet.

Ethanol

Molasses-based fuel ethanol

Ethanol plant using molasses (sugar-process byproduct) as feedstock. Serves gasohol E10/E20 blend mandate demand from PTT and OMCs. Ethanol revenue partially offsets raw sugar price cyclicality.

Biomass power

Bagasse cogeneration SPP/VSPP

Bagasse-fired cogeneration power plants under Small Power Producer (SPP) and Very Small Power Producer (VSPP) contracts with EGAT and PEA. Renewable baseload revenue, contracted pricing stability.

Export

Raw, refined sugar export

Thailand is the second-largest global sugar exporter. TRR participates in Thai Sugar Trading Corp (TSTC) export coordination. Raw sugar export cycle adds price variability vs domestic quota pricing.

Key drivers 2025-2026

Cane yield

Central plains weather and drought

2023-2024 El Nino reduced central plains cane yield. TRR's pure-Thai geographic concentration means no diversification buffer from regional operations vs KSL's multi-country mix.

Sugar export price

Global raw sugar price cycle

Thai raw sugar export price follows ICE NY11 futures. 2024-2025 sugar price normalisation from 2023 highs reduces TRR revenue per tonne. Ethanol hedge partially offsets raw sugar cycle.

Ethanol blend mandate

E10/E20 gasohol policy

Thai government gasohol blend mandate (E10/E20) supports domestic ethanol demand. Mandate expansion to E20 would increase TRR ethanol plant utilisation and revenue contribution.
