Mitr Phol Group is Thailand's and Asia's biggest sugar and bio-energy producer.

In addition to Thailand and China, Mitr Phol has operations and investments in Lao PDR, Cambodia, and most recently Australia.

Its key business units include sugar, wood substitute materials, and renewable energy.

In 1990, Mitr Phol Sugar Mill in Suphan Buri province was established with a processing capacity of 45,500 tonnes per day.

In 1997, Mitr Phol constructed a sugar mill in Hai Tung County, China.

Sugar production accounts for 50 billion baht of the total and the remainder is contributed by its peripheral businesses.

[2] Revenues are flat due to low world sugar prices (US$0.26 per kilogram), but 2018 production is up over 2017.

However, in 2016, 28 billion baht will be spent on the sugar business to develop its facilities and water system.

In 2016, the group became the first company in Thailand and the second firm in Asia to be certified by Bonsucro, an international not for-profit organisation that promotes sustainable sugar cane.
