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 development, management and technical services
to the international sugar industry. Although Booker Tate has
provided services to a broad range of agribusiness companies in the
past, the present focus of its activities is on sugar producing
companies and this has been the dominant activity in the company's
substantial history.
Booker Tate has recently worked in Belize, Burkina Faso,
Dominican Republic, Guyana, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru,
Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Swaziland and Uganda.
Booker Tate also continues to work elsewhere generating further
experience of developing and operating sugar and other agricultural
projects, including poultry, coffee and crocodiles, in a wide range
of agro-climatic, economic, social and political conditions around
the globe.
