Südzucker AG (German pronunciation: [ˈzyːtˌtsʊkɐ], literally South sugar) is a German company, the largest sugar producer in the world, with an annual production of around 4.8 million tonnes.
In February 2014, Germany’s Federal Cartel Office imposed a joint fine of 280 million euros on the company – together with its competitors Nordzucker and Pfeifer & Langen – for allegations of anticompetitive agreements.
