Why does raw sugar cost more than refined white sugar?

There are a long list of chemical processing steps required to get refined white sugar from raw sugar (essentially dried cane juice treated with lime). Surely, the refining process not only costs more, but leaves a less wholesome product. The refining process is also much more environmentally unfriendly than keeping sugar raw. Do we humans just naturally look for the stupidest way to do a thing?
