Sugar Refining involves transforming raw sugar into refined, white sugar through purification and processing. Sugar Processing generally refers to the broader conversion of raw sugar into various sugar products, including processed and specialty sugars. While both roles work within the sugar industry and share similar credentials, refining focuses specifically on purification and finishing, whereas processing covers a wider range of sugar production stages.
