Imperial Sugar: Spike in Sugar Prices Sweetens Prospects

Despite the constant threat of legal issues facing Imperial, things are starting to look up for the largest publicly held US sugar producer.

The plant, which is expected to be fully operational by the end of the month will enable Imperial to refine and package sugar safer and more efficiently than the old plant.
