Raceland Raw Sugar, LLC is a producer of raw sugar and molasses. We process sugarcane into these two products by crushing the cane and utilizing the juice collected. The byproduct of this process is bagasse. Bagasse is the fiber material that is left over after the cane has been crushed and juice is collected. Much of the bagasse is used as fuel in our boilers; however, what is not burned is transported pneumatically and piled up during the harvest season at a temporary site across the highway from the mill site. The storage area that we have is only enough to hold one crop of excess bagasse. Once harvest is completed, we continue relocating bagasse from the temporary storage area to the secondary or permanent storage area. This process is ongoing from approximately the middle of January through June. By June 30, we will have the temporary storage area cleared, and all excess bagasse will be in the permanent piles allowing the mill to be ready for the next sugarcane crop, which will begin in September.
