Sugar is Unique

The unique nature of America’s sugar industry, the robust sugar supply chain and the flexibility of our no-cost sugar policy proved to be a strategic asset when the COVID-19 pandemic introduced new challenges. America’s sugar policy is unique, too. The world sugar market is grossly distorted by subsidies. But America’s no-cost sugar policy is built on loans repaid with interest – not subsidy checks – which ensures a secure supply of American-made sugar at no cost to taxpayers.

Did you know? The over-quota tariff rate, which is meant to regulate the sale of over-quota foreign sugar in the United States, was set 26 YEARS ago. It has been undermined by inflation and is no longer effective.

Thank you, @SenatorSlotkin, for standing with Michigan sugarbeet farmers and workers, and the entire U.S. sugar industry. Unreasonable and unfair foreign trade practices harm our family farms and put our ability to produce American-made sugar at risk. Strong farm and trade
