Freshdi Market Insight
Refined White Sugar market data to source with confidence
Brazil (9.1%), South Africa (8.7%) and Thailand (7.7%) are among the top supplier countries for 208 Refined White Sugar suppliers across 49 countries, with no single origin dominating the base. The typical range is USD 237 - 339 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 280 median, meaning buyers should expect variation and assess quality and origin carefully. Buyer inquiries surged 276.3% to 286 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 50.1 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

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?
Refined White Sugar saw 77 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 24 from the previous month. The catalog is growing quickly, so the offers available today are not the same as those seen a month ago. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to see which are most recent.
Is the market busy?
35 of the 208 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool includes both sellers with a long history and those who are still building their presence. This gives buyers more names to consider, but the newer ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them for a first order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Refined White Sugar listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 7 November 2026 - 993 active listings, 162 buyer requests, 88 source documents, and 683 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 Refined White 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 Refined White 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.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
