ABOUT US
Booker plc and Tate & Lyle plc, two major international food production and trading companies with a combined history of over 400 years, merged their agro-industrial and project management businesses in 1988 to create a jointly owned company, Booker Tate Limited. In October 2004, Tsb Sugar acquired Booker Tate which is now a subsidiary of Tsb Sugar International.
Based in Thame in the UK, the mainstream business of Booker Tate is the provision of project development, engineering and agricultural project management services, technical and corporate management and technical support for both new and established agricultural and agro-industrial projects and businesses around the world. Although Booker Tate has provided services to a broad range of agribusiness companies in the past, the present focus of its activities is on the management of sugar producing companies and this has been the dominant activity in the company’s substantial history.
Booker Tate currently has 16 assignments in eleven countries.
The main clients of Booker Tate at present are in Swaziland, Uganda, Ethiopia, Guyana, Belize, Peru, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia. Production from the units under Booker Tate's operational management totalled just over 800,000 tonnes of sugar in 2007.
Booker Tate also continues to work elsewhere and in the past 50 years has completed over 1,500 assignments in more than 120 countries, generating further experience of developing and operating sugar and other agricultural projects in a wide range of agro-climatic, economic, social and political conditions around the globe.
