Get in touch with us nowThe average retail price for two kilograms of white sugar in Canada was 2.51 Canadian dollars in October 2023. This price has gradually decreased over time, from a monthly average of 2.79 dollars per two kilograms in 2015.
White sugar which we buy in stores is a refined sugar. This means that it has been extracted from sugar cane plants or sugar beets and processed into crystals, whilst natural sugars are those found in food such as fruit and some dairy products. Also known as granulated sugar, white sugar is generally used to sweeten hot beverages or in baking.
As of December 2018, there were 13 sugar manufacturing establishments in the whole of Canada, five of which were located in Quebec. In the same year, there was over 30 kilograms of refined sugar available for consumption per capita in Canada.
