Ledesma
Argentine sugar, paper, and agribusiness since 1908
Ledesma is one of Argentina's oldest agroindustrial groups, producing sugar, paper, bioethanol, fruits, and juice from its integrated operations in Jujuy province. B2B buyers source Ledesma for bulk refined sugar, paper and packaging materials, and citrus products — all from a vertically integrated supply chain that controls everything from sugarcane cultivation to final product processing in the subtropical northwest of Argentina.
Ledesma was founded in 1908 in Libertador General San MartÃn, Jujuy, at the foot of the Yungas cloud forest in northwestern Argentina. The company operates one of the world's most vertically integrated agroindustrial complexes: 40,000 hectares of sugarcane, a sugar mill producing 350,000+ tons annually, a paper mill converting bagasse (sugarcane fiber) into writing and printing paper, a bioethanol distillery, and citrus orchards producing oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. Ledesma's sugar division supplies refined white sugar, raw sugar, and liquid sugar to food and beverage manufacturers, bakeries, and confectionery companies across Argentina and export markets. The paper division produces Ledesma brand notebooks and office paper — a household name in Argentine schools. For B2B buyers, Ledesma offers bulk sugar contracts, industrial paper rolls, and fresh/processed citrus. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and Bonsucro sustainability certifications.
