Galam Group increases crystalline fructose prices

Galam Group has announced that it will increase price for its crystalline fructose, fruitose®, when renewing new contracts for 2011. The increase in price is driven by sustained increases in sugar, fuel, and freight costs. Moreover, upcoming global approval of Stevia in Europe will increase demand for other natural sweeteners and particularly for fructose. To this extent, we already face an increased demand in the markets that already approved Stevia and this could result in short term in upward pressure on prices, due to the limited capacities.

"We are constantly investing in initiatives to reduce costs, however we continue to face strong increases in raw material, energy and freight costs," says Alon Heyman, Vice President, Marketing at Galam Group. "The price increase will allow us to continue and offer the best sweetening solutions to the market while keeping the same level of technical support."
