  • There's 907 Kg in a Tonne wow that's alot of sugar, you've got the likes of makro and costco but I doubt they'd do bigger than 50kg. Why not ask a local baker who supplys them?

  • Bako are one of the main bakery wholesalers.
  • Hi
    We buy sugar at work from a company called Kent foods. Just beware the cost of sugar is quite high at the moment. I know the last shipment we had was cheaper per pound from the local cheap shop than we paid for a few ton.
    Hope this helps

    You are right, the princess is mixing up her tons and tonnes. A common problem with royalty, along with gout and speech impediments :D
  • Hi, no idea on the going rate, etc but you could get a pallet from poundland. For 1000kg would be £667 as they sell 1.5kg bags.
