⭐ RULE 1 — STORE THE SUGAR IN A DRY, LOW-HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT
Humidity is the #1 enemy of raw brown sugar.
High humidity causes:
Crystal melting
Lumping or hardening
Mold growth
Loss of purity
Ideal humidity level:
Below 65% RH
Daily checks of humidity levels must be performed by warehouse supervisors.

25°C or below
Avoid storing sugar near:
Boilers
Steam pipes
Heat sources
Sun-exposed walls
⭐ RULE 3 — KEEP SUGAR ON PALLETS AVOID PLACING IT ON THE GROUND
Never place sugar bags directly on the warehouse floor.
Why?
When surfaces absorb water.

Keep sugar 15–20 cm above the ground, on:
Wooden pallets
Plastic pallets
Metal racks
⭐ RULE 4 — AVOID PLACING AGAINST WALLS
Moisture continues to be confined within the warehouse walls.
Leave a 30–50 cm gap between the wall and the sugar stack.
⭐ RULE 5 — ENSURE AIR CIRCULATION AND VENTILATION
Cessation of ventilation:
Condensation
Mold formation
Moisture buildup
Use:
Ceiling fans
Air vents
