Common Questions

Buyer FAQ

Essential information for palm sugar importers and food manufacturers.

Is this Arenga or Coconut sugar?
This is Gula Aren, sourced from the Arenga pinnata palm. While similar to coconut sugar, Gula Aren is widely considered superior in flavor (deeper caramel notes) and is harvested from forest-grown palms rather than plantations.
Do you have organic certification?
Yes. Our primary supply chains in West Java are certified organic to EU and USDA standards. We can provide full transaction certificates (TC) for every organic shipment.
What is the glycemic index?
Gula Aren has a low glycemic index of approximately 35. This makes it a preferred sweetener for health-conscious brands and diabetic-friendly formulations compared to cane sugar (GI 60+).
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ for bulk granulated sugar is 500 kg. For private label or retail packaging projects, the minimum is 1,000 kg.
