Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Crystal Sugar sourcing decisions with real market data
Brazil, Tanzania, and Thailand each hold 11.4% of the 35 Crystal Sugar suppliers, with 16 countries represented in total, so sourcing options are concentrated in a few key regions. The typical range is USD 379 - 468 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 416 median, which helps buyers compare offers across grades and origins. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 22.2 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for in most cases.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Crystal Sugar had 3 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 4 the month before. The catalog is not growing quickly, so the offers available today are mostly from the same group as last month. Check the listing date when comparing two offers that look alike.
Is the market busy?
2 of the 35 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so most are long-standing. Buyers meet sellers with a long history of listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The smaller number of new entries means the pool is dominated by familiar names. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Crystal Sugar listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 7 October 2026 - 167 active listings, 12 buyer requests, 390 source documents, and 2,752 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Crystal Sugar type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Crystal Sugar, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
