Because ancient brown sugar was made from pure sugarcane juice, only 15 kg of sugarcane can make a catty of brown sugar, and the price of a catty of sugarcane is several dollars, plus the costs of production, packaging, brand, operation, logistics, transportation and so on. So the price is expensive.

Ordinary brown sugar is the industrial tailings of white sugar, that is, the part that cannot be decolored in industrial production of white sugar, which is scientifically called brown sugar, and the price of this part of brown sugar is low.

Therefore, from the raw materials and technological methods, we can see that ancient brown sugar is more expensive than ordinary brown sugar.
