Swaziland has three sugar mills with an annual production capacity in excess of 600,000 tons. The industry produces raw, refined and VHP (brown) sugar.  Whilst all the mills produce raw sugar, only two of these produce both refined and VHP sugar (Mhlume and Ubombo) whilst one (Simunye) does not produce refined sugar.
 
In 2008/09, sugar production stood at 626 984 tons compared to 631 236 tons in 2007/08.
