Can anyone tell my why there is zero white sugar in the stores, and brown sugar is being sold in limited quantities? I especially don't understand since the DR is a sugar producer!
North Coast - Puerto Plata and Sosua both have this problem.Not having the problem down here in Boca Chica or in San Isidro. Where u at?
But now that I think a bit more about it, we never buy white sugar so I don't pay attention to its scarity.
Same here in Santiago at La Sirena (Two weeks ago since I was there).Can anyone tell my why there is zero white sugar in the stores, and brown sugar is being sold in limited quantities? I especially don't understand since the DR is a sugar producer!
Strange, white sugar is everywhere. It's also the sugar of choice for the handmade juices sold at various establishments, as it dissolves better in cold waterI don’t think I’ve ever seen white sugar in DR, I know my inlaws won’t use it at all. I buy the light brown bagged sugar.
Fact checking my own post, I seem to have that reversed. Brown tends to dissolve faster than white. However, I only ever see them making the homemade juices with white in the streets.Strange, white sugar is everywhere.

I've been using Splenda for years now also. By juices I mean whatever comedor or parada or stand selling fresh squeezed juices like lime, chinola tamarind etc. I've only ever seen them using white sugar to make that juice.I’ve never seen street juices made. I meant in supermarkets. You mean the syrups they use for yun-yun?
I mostly shop at Sirena, and in San Cristobal I see the cream/light brown sugar. Sometimes I throw a 5 lb bag of Domino in a tanque, I honestly don’t see a difference. We use Splenda in our espresso.
I've seen it and bought it in Ole when they were out of the cremora sugar. If they have the cremora though, I never look for white.I don’t think I’ve ever seen white sugar in DR, I know my inlaws won’t use it at all. I buy the light brown bagged sugar.
This is BS. The number one cause is listed as climate change.Understanding the Sugar Shortage
The global shortage of sugar is an international issue that’s impacting nations around the world, including India, England, Malaysia, and, of course, the United States. The question is, why?www.thomasnet.com
