Another sugar tender issued

Published August 15, 2025

HAMBURG: The Trad­ing Corporation of Pakis­tan has issued a new international tender to purchase 200,000 tonnes of white refined sugar, Euro­pean traders said on Thursday.

The deadline for submission of price offers is Aug 21.

The TCP is believed to have purchased about 55,000 tonnes of white sugar in a previous international tender seeking up to 100,000 tonnes which closed this week, European traders said on Wednesday.

Pakistan’s government has approved plans to import 500,000 tonnes of sugar to help to maintain price stability after retail sugar prices in the country rose sharply.
