BrianGreens.com has an interesting article called “Brazilian Sugar Prices” that, as the title suggests, discusses the price factors of buying Brazilian sugar, and it’s filled with fun facts to know and tell. BrianGreens describes these factors in the order of importance, beginning with supply and demand.

Apparently, between 1625 - 1750, sugar prices got as high or higher than equal weight in gold! Obviously, quantity and quality are also huge factors, What I didn’t realize was that delivery methods are also price factors. Things like the shipping line, destination port accessibility, and daily unloading capacity, can impact the final price. It’s a good article, if you’re interested in sugar.
