Since 1892......

By visiting a raw sugar factory in Louisiana, you will see one of Louisiana’s largest, oldest and most fascinating industries in operation.

 

Raceland Raw Sugar, LLC was built in 1892 in Lafourche (La-foosh) Parish, Louisiana under the ownership of Godchaux Sugars. In 1996 M. A. Patout & Son, LTD, LLC purchased the factory as a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Today, Raceland Raw Sugar receives cane from seven neighboring parishes and has a grinding capacity of 15,000 tons per day. It is one of the last remaining 11 raw sugar mills/factories in the State.

 

A BIG Salute goes out to ALL Farmers....everywhere....in this month of Thanksgiving for what they do to provide us the simple things we often take for granted......
