Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. sugar price support program has artificially increased the price of sugar in the U.S. through measures such as tariffs and import quotas. This has resulted in higher costs for U.S. consumers, who have paid an estimated $3.5 billion per year in higher prices, while U.S. sugar producers have benefited from the higher prices. However, the program has not been effective at increasing domestic sugar production, and has led to increased sugar imports as a percentage of U.S. sugar consumption. Therefore, choice A is the best answer.
