Sugar is one of the most essential commodities used in home kitchens, bakeries, restaurants, cafes, and tea shops. From biscuits to cakes and from custards to puddings, every sweet dish’s must-have key component is cheeni.
As the population is increasing in Pakistan, the need for sugar is increasing day by day. On the other hand, the sugar-crushing mills in Pakistan are not capable enough to meet the requirements of the Pakistani food market. Due to that, prices of sugar have been on the hike march for months now. The rate of 1 kg sugar in the retail sugar market has jumped from 2 digits family to 3 digits in Pakistani rupees.
Not only the supply-demand cycle is disturbed, but also the role of the sugar mafia is crucial in the staggering price hike who is on the loose to gain higher profits.

Historical trends of sugar price in Pakistan
As sugar is considered one of the most important commodities and food items all over the world, the demand for sugar always increases. As a result, the manufacturers, dealers, and buyers tend to sell sugar at higher profits.
Pakistan is also a big producer of sugar and its production capacity is increasing year by year. However, due to different reasons, sugar production cost has increased a lot, resulting in price hikes for consumers.
What is Sugar?
It is a sweet whitey crystalline substance that is obtained from a variety of fruits, vegetables, and plants including sugar cane, and sugar beet. Sugar mainly consists of sucrose, a compound that is the main component of sugar cane and sugar beet.
Sugar is widely used in food and drinks. Almost every sweet dish consists of sugar which is also a big reason for the increased sugar price in Pakistan.
However, medical has provided evidence of the harms caused by the excessive use of sugar.
Properties of Sugar
- Sweetener
- Energizer
- Water Soluble
- Preserving Agent
- Food Darkener
Sweetener– Mainly the most important property of sugar is sweetness. Sugar is sweet in taste which is the most important factor for its attractiveness. Most people are attracted to sugar due to its capability of sweetening the taste of the tongue.
However, different kinds of sugar may vary in their sweetness. Some are mild sweet and some are normal sweet. On the other hand, there are some kinds which are extremely sweet.
Energizer– The other property of sugar is that it provides energy to its consumers. You might have noticed that when you consume sugar you feel more energized. In my home, when someone feels low in energy or tired, sugar or any other sweet dish is provided which gives them a boost.
You have also noticed that when you eat sugar at night most of the time sleep vanishes away. (That’s why we tend to not let our kids eat sugar at night:)
Water Soluble– The other important property of sugar is that it is very swiftly soluble in water or any other liquid. Just put the sugar in the water and stir it. If you want to increase the solubility put the sugar in hot water. Stirring sugar in warm or hot water increases the solubility of sugar.
Preserving Agent– The other important property of sugar is that it can be long preserved. That is also the reason the sugar mafia uses this property of sugar as a key to preserve the sugar and hide it in godowns to create an artificial shortage of sugar. As a result, we see hikes and increases in the rate of sugar.
Food Darkener- The other important property of sugar is that it can be heated. Heat helps in breaking its components resulting in the dark color of the sugar. Melted sugar is used in different sweet dishes as well.
Use Of Sugar -Good or Bad?
Sugar is one of the quickest energy providers as it can give a faster boost to the human body. Other than that sugar intake causes multiple harms and brings various diseases to the consumer including heart attack, obesity, blood sugar, etc. Below are some pros and cons of using sugar:

What are the Basic Kinds of Sugar?
As you might know, sugar does not have only one normal form which is in white color. As the white-colored sugar (sufaid cheni) is widely used domestically and commercially, someone can get the idea that it is the only kind.
In reality, sugar has 3 basic kinds:
- White Sugar (normal)
- Brown Sugar (organic)
- Liquid Sugar (used as syrup for sweet dishes)
Brown Sugar Price in Pakistan Today
As brown sugar is more healthy as compared to normal white shakar, the demand for organic brown sugar is obviously high. But if you compare the rates of organic brown sugar with white sugar, brown sugar is more expensive.
However, there is no unified rate list for brown sugar by the government and different manufacturers sell brown sugar at different rates. Below we have shared a range of minimum and maximum rates for both kinds of sugar after looking into different manufacturers’ rates list.
| Item | Rate (Rs.) |
|---|---|
| White Sugar | 130 – 160 |
| Brown Sugar | 350 – 600 |
Production of Sugar in Pakistan
Pakistan is one of the largest sugar cane producers and sugar consumers in the world. Production of sugar has increased from 20 million tonnes in 1971 to approximately 90 million tonnes in 2023 growing at the rate of almost 4%.
The sugar industry in Pakistan is playing a vital role in providing jobs and employment to the citizens of Pakistan and helping in the development of the economy.
However, like other industries in Pakistan, the sugar industry is also facing many challenges including power tariff rates, taxes, low technology, lack of essential resources, and above all lack of good business structure. All of that is contributing to lower and under-capacity production of sugar with high cost resulting in the increase in price of sugar in Pakistan.
