Millgate prices of domestic sugar continue to climb, based on results of the bidding on Thursday, with most districts hitting the P1,300 per Lkg mark.

Sugar industry players said this is an indication that market forces have maintained their pressure on sugar buying and boosted the bid price of raw sugar eventhough "A" sugar prices went down slightly in some instances.

This week, prices of "B" sugar range from P1,260 to P1,340 per Lkg while last week, from only P1,180 to P1,245 per Lkg.
