163 suppliers are actively offering White Sugar on the platform, with 31 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This level of activity shows that suppliers are responsive and keeping their offerings current, which means buyers can expect fresh pricing, quality updates, and lead time details without long waits. It also suggests a dynamic market where terms can shift quickly — a benefit for buyers who need flexibility in their sourcing decisions. 771 listings are currently active, covering a wide range of grades, pack sizes, and certifications. With such depth, buyers are likely to find a close match to their specific needs without having to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. The high number of listings also indicates that suppliers treat White Sugar as a core product, meaning consistent availability and regular stock refreshes. Suppliers come from 42 different countries, offering broad geographic reach. This diversity means buyers aren’t limited to a single origin and can compare regional differences in price, quality, or compliance — especially useful for those looking to hedge against supply chain risks or find specific certifications. The wide spread gives real flexibility in sourcing decisions. Buyer inquiries increased by 26.4% to 67 in the last 30 days, signaling growing interest in White Sugar. This surge suggests that demand is rising, and with only 163 suppliers available, the market may be tightening quickly. Buyers should act now to secure terms, as increased interest could lead to faster booking or limited availability in the coming weeks.

How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
White Sugar saw 47 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 21 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 closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?

The pool includes both established names with a history of consistent listings and newer ones building their presence. Buyers have more names to consider, but the newer suppliers have less track record to evaluate. 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 White Sugar listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 1 November 2026 - 771 active listings, 92 buyer requests, 218 source documents, and 1,737 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 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 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.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| 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.
