Who we are
Built by Farmers. Focused on Customers.
United Sugar Producers & Refiners (USPR) is a marketing cooperative dedicated to connecting businesses with a reliable supply of high-quality sugar. Our member-owners are sugarbeet and sugarcane growers, processors, and refiners who work together to serve food manufacturers, retailers, foodservice operators, and distributors across North America.
As a cooperative, we're uniquely positioned within the sugar industry. We don't simply source sugar—we represent the producers who grow, process, and refine it. That direct connection allows us to provide dependable supply, deep industry expertise, and a long-term perspective focused on helping our customers succeed.
From Field to Customer
Our story begins in the fields where sugarbeets and sugarcane are grown. From there, our member-owners oversee the processing and refining of sugar before it moves through a robust distribution network and into the products consumers use every day.
This direct connection across the supply chain helps us deliver:
- Consistent, high-quality products
- Reliable supply and distribution
- Responsive customer support
- Long-term partnership and industry expertise
Because our members are the source, we're able to bring customers closer to the people behind the products they depend on.
Always United
At United, our cooperative model shapes everything we do. It drives our commitment to collaboration, accountability, and customer success. By bringing together growers, processors, refiners, and customers, we're helping build a stronger, more sustainable future for the sugar industry.
United is comprised of four well-established agribusiness members.

At USPR, our strength comes from the people who make our business possible every day.
