American Sugar Alliance Congratulates Jamieson Greer on Confirmation as U.S. Trade Representative

On behalf of the nation’s sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers and workers, the American Sugar Alliance issued the following statement on Jamieson Greer’s confirmation as U.S. Trade Representative:

“The American Sugar Alliance congratulates Jamieson Greer on his confirmation as U.S. Trade Representative. A strong American sugar industry – which sustains more than 151,000 jobs coast to coast – reduces our reliance on unpredictable foreign suppliers, safeguards consumers from supply chain disruptions, and contributes to the vitality of family farms and small businesses across the country. We look forward to working with Ambassador Greer to advance our shared goals of enforcing global trading rules and protecting good American jobs.”

America’s sugar producers are proud to support more than 151,000 jobs coast to coast, drive $23.3 billion in annual economic impact, and provide a steady, affordable supply of made-in-America sugar. American sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers and workers supply approximately 75% of the sugar consumed nationwide.
