Sugar Prices Reach New 52-Week High in Nepal, Market Remains Bullish
June 3, 2026

Sugar prices in Nepal have continued their upward trend, with the latest market data showing that the price of a 50kg bag of sugar has reached Rs. 4,950, marking a new 52-week high.

According to market data available on NepalCommodity, sugar prices have steadily increased over the past several months. The commodity was trading around Rs. 4,700 per 50kg bag earlier this year and has now gained Rs. 250 per bag, representing an increase of approximately 5.32%.
The latest trading session recorded a further increase of Rs. 50 per bag, or 1.02%, highlighting continued strength in the market.
Market participants attribute the price increase to several factors, including rising transportation and logistics costs, higher production expenses, increasing energy costs, and strong demand from wholesalers and retailers. Some traders have also been holding stocks in anticipation of further price increases, which has contributed to tighter market availability.
Industry observers note that international sugar market trends and import-related costs are also influencing domestic prices. As Nepal relies significantly on imported sugar and raw materials, fluctuations in regional and global markets often impact local pricing.
The price movement chart indicates a consistent upward trend since January, with sugar gradually rising from Rs. 4,700 to Rs. 4,950 per bag. The current market price is now at the highest level recorded in the past 52 weeks.
Despite the increase, demand remains stable across major wholesale markets. Traders expect prices to remain firm in the short term unless there is a significant improvement in supply conditions or a decline in import and transportation costs.
