White sugar.

What the chain gets, so far

We don't have a shelf price for this yet: we only use published or shopper-reported prices. Once there is one, what's left for the supermarket shows here. Add the price you paid.

The farmer or grower$0.31–$0.41

Raw sugar at about A$500/t for the 2025 season (QSL, October 2025) to A$647/t now (ICE No. 11 at 20.55 USc/lb on 21 October 2026 × 22.046 lb/kg = US$453/t ÷ 0.70 A$/US$, both from ABARES) × the grower's share of the sugar from their cane under Queensland's cane price formula (cane price = 0.009 × sugar price × (CCS − 4) + a local constant, QSL; with CCS, the recoverable sugar %, at 12.59 to 13.87 in Wilmar's 2025 mid-season figures, the grower's share is 0.9 × (CCS − 4) ÷ CCS = 61% to 64%) × 1 kg = $0.31 to $0.41. Simplifications: the local constant is left out, ABARES rounds the exchange rate to 0.7, grower marketing costs aren't deducted, and refining loses a little sugar, so slightly more than 1 kg of raw sugar goes into 1 kg of white.

Processing and packing$0.18–$0.25

Raw-sugar milling only: the mill keeps the rest of the sugar from the grower's cane under the same formula (in effect the first four units of CCS, QSL), which is 36% to 39% of the raw sugar at CCS 13.87 to 12.59 × A$500 to A$647/t × 1 kg = $0.18 to $0.25. This is the mill's share of raw sugar value, not a cost. Refining raw sugar into white sugar and packing it into 1 kg bags is not published and isn't included. Source

Freight and wholesalenot published

No mill, refiner or retailer publishes the per-kilo cost of moving raw sugar to the refinery and packed sugar to stores.
