Commercial ube powder: price per kg in Europe (2026)

This index lists every published price for 100% ube powder that a European business can order, from 100 g pouches to 100 kg. Where a supplier sells bulk but publishes no price, the row says "on request".

The Big Moca rows are the only published per-kg prices for EU-stocked 100% ube powder at 20 kg and above that we found. Order bulk at the Big Moca bulk desk, where prices are valid for 4 weeks and paid in advance.

Other ube products are priced per litre or per kg of a product that is not 100% ube, so they do not compare directly. They are listed here because buyers often weigh them against powder.

Most bulk ube sellers in and around the EU publish no price. Plants2Market (Germany) quotes on request for 10 kg and 25 kg packs, generally from 25 kg. Origine (Belgium, Penyu Ube extract powder) and Synergy Flavours (UK, ube paste) quote by enquiry. The Chinese manufacturers Botanical Cube and Shaanxi Fairir also quote individually.

Quote-only pricing is normal in ingredient trading, but it makes budgeting slow: you need a spec, a sample and a quote from each supplier before you can compare. For the full list of who sells what, and their MOQs and certificates, see the ube supplier comparison.

Seven factors explain most of the price spread between a $5.50 marketplace listing and a €60 EU bulk price.

1. Ube content. 100% powder costs more per kg than an extract on maltodextrin or tapioca starch, or a latte mix such as Barú's, which contains 9% ube.
2. Raw material per kg. Big Moca's spec states about 5 kg of fresh tuber in every kg of 100% powder.
3. Drying method. Freeze-dried powder was listed at $30/kg (as listed in a search excerpt); air-dried listings start at $5.50–7/kg.
4. Verification. Species and dye tests cost money. Big Moca has every batch tested by Eurofins Food Testing Netherlands, including synthetic dyes.
5. Certification and EU stock. An IFS Broker-certified trader holding stock in the Netherlands carries costs a marketplace listing does not.
6. Pack size. At Big Moca the price per kg falls from €179.90 (100 g, incl. VAT) to €60 (20 kg) and €50 (100 kg, both excl. VAT).
7. Supply. The Philippines suspended exports of fresh ube and planting material in 2026, announced in September, according to trade reports; processed powder is not covered, but supply may tighten.

Volume tiers on commercial ube powder save between 8% and 21% per kg in the published price lists. At Big Moca, moving from one 20 kg bag (€60/kg) to three bags (€55/kg) saves 8.3% per kg, and five bags (€50/kg) save 16.7%. On a 100 kg order that is €1,000 less than buying the same quantity at the single-bag price.

The Alibaba listing in our reference table falls from $7 per kg at 20–99 kg to $5.50 at 500 kg and above, a 21% drop. Above 100 kg a year, Big Moca prices 200 kg+ annual volumes on request, which is the usual point at which a supplier fixes a contract price for a year.

Volume buying only pays if the powder stays in specification until you use it. Check the shelf life (24 months unopened for Big Moca's 100% powder) against your usage before ordering five bags.

Organic ube powder for industry is almost always quote-only. Big Moca sells an EU-certified organic ube powder as a separate bulk line on request, with the certificate available on request. Botanical Cube lists organic ube powder with a 500 kg minimum order and no price.

The only organic price point in our research is Bioptimal's 1 kg pack, listed at €79.95 at a French retailer and shown as unavailable on 9 November 2026. When you compare organic quotes, ask for the organic certificate with its number and check the operator in the European Commission's TRACES directory, because organic logos on supplier pages are not proof on their own.

Price per kg matters less than cost per unit you sell. Big Moca's spec gives two guide dosages: 3 g per latte, and about 10% of dry weight in recipes.

Price per kg	Per latte (3 g)	Per 1 kg of dry mix (10% = 100 g)
€50 (100 kg tier, excl. VAT)	€0.15	€5.00
€55 (60 kg tier, excl. VAT)	€0.17	€5.50
€60 (20 kg bag, excl. VAT)	€0.18	€6.00
€70 (1 kg pouch, incl. VAT)	€0.21	€7.00

These are guide dosages from one supplier's spec. Your own dosage depends on recipe, colour target and process, so confirm it in a trial before you budget.

Put every quote on the same basis before you compare: euros per kg of product, excl. VAT, with freight listed separately. Then adjust for ube content.

• VAT. Big Moca's bulk prices are excl. VAT; its 1 kg and 100 g prices include VAT. Royal Brand's extract price includes VAT; Zuma's case price does not say.
• Freight. Big Moca lists indicative freight per 20 kg box: €18 (NL), €28 (Benelux and Germany), €45 (rest of EU).
• Currency and unit. Marketplace listings are often in USD and sometimes have no unit.
• Validity. Big Moca's bulk prices are valid for 4 weeks; Takichi's $30/kg had expired.
• Ube content. Divide the price by the share of ube to see what you pay for ube itself.
