(Last Word) The U.S. sugar program

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. sugar program requires import quotas or tariffs on foreign sugar, which raises the price of imported sugar and protects domestic sugar producers. This policy has been controversial, as it limits competition and increases prices for consumers. While it benefits U.S. sugar producers, it may not benefit producers in developing countries who struggle to access the U.S. market. It also does not directly decrease the domestic price of sugar or increase the export earnings of other sugar-producing countries.
