Bangladesh Sugar Refiners Association has increased the price of loose refined sugar by Tk 5 per kg to Tk 107 per kg and packaged refined sugar by Tk 4 to Tk 112 per kg.
The new prices will be effective from February 1, said a media release published by the Bangladesh Sugar Refiners Association on Thursday.
Earlier on November 17, 2022, the price of refined sugar was increased by Tk 13 per kg to Tk 102 per kg for loose sugar and Tk 108 per kg for packaged ones.
The price was increased considering the price hike of unrefined sugar in the global market, dollar price increase, and increase in operational costs of local mills.
It added that the decision was taken after consulting with the Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission and the Ministry of Commerce.
