NAFTA 2008 and Beyond – What Does It Mean for Sugar and HFCS?
|
Jack Roney, Director of Economics and Policy Analysis speaks to the ISO November 19, 2008 - The U.S. sugar industry is enduring a wrenching restructuring brought about by more than two decades of flat prices. The industry that remains is more efficient and dynamic than ever, but soaring prices for key farm inputs, and for competing crops, have added new challenges. Looming over the industry is the threat that unlimited, unneeded imports of sugar under trade agreements could further reduce domestic market share and prices. Paramount among the trade threats is the unlimited access to the U.S. sugar market that Mexico now enjoys under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). ISO Roney Speech - November 2008 |
