OUR HISTORY
The plant began operations in 1988, initially as a sugarcane distillery for ethanol production. It transitioned to an organic sugarcane mill before reintroducing distilling capabilities in 2023.
Our Chronology
Ethanol distillery started operations under the name INSAMA. We're proud to have over 30 years of sugarcane industry experience.
OUR VALUES
Since 2011, our core values are based on three key pillars that have enabled Hibernia Misiones to differentiate itself in an increasingly uniform organic sugar market.
Focus on taylor-made specialties sugar production
Hibernia Misiones’ organic sugarcane is grown locally, on a total of over 1,800 hectares. Of this, approximately 265 hectares are owned by some 170 private small local farmers.
Broad spectrum of certifications allowing multiple combinations
Hibernia Misiones provides regular free technical advice and support to these small farmers to ensure they can comply with all the necessary organic certification standards.
Support to the local community
As part of this ongoing training and assistance program, special emphasis is placed on the management and rotation of crops, such as sesame, mung beans, chrotalarium, etc. To ensure the long term viability of the natural soil.
THE PLANT
FROM PARAGUAY TO THE WORLD
The opportunity to produce organic cane sugar came naturally back in 2000 to expand the market share of the company. Following a 3-year transition period, Hibernia Misiones received its full organic certification and started to export its first organic sugar production to Europe.
Our engineering team has successfully managed, over the years, to increase the sugar mill’s productivity to respond to our customers’ needs both in terms of quantity and quality.
Modernization and Development
In 2019, thanks to its new shareholder, the Company embarked on a massive modernization and industrial development programme.
The installation of new equipment improved the automation and quality of the industrial process.
