Bangladesh Sugar Market Overview

Bangladesh imports the majority of its sugar β€” domestic mill output covers only a fraction of national demand. Large private refiners (City Group, Meghna Group, S. Alam Group) dominate raw-sugar imports, while smaller distributors bring in refined ICUMSA 45 and retail packs. Chittagong Port handles almost all sugar entries.

Thailand is a consistent supplier to Bangladesh for both raw sugar (for local refining) and refined grades (for industrial and retail channels).
